Çanakkale Troy Tour
The legendary city of Homer's Iliad — the UNESCO ruins of Troy, the Trojan Horse and the acclaimed 2018 Troy Museum, on the shores of the Dardanelles.
View tourTwo of Türkiye's greatest stories face each other across the Dardanelles — the legendary ancient city of Troy and the 1915 battlefields of Gallipoli. Takk Travel is your licensed local DMC for Çanakkale, operating both with specialist guides, ferry crossings and two-day programs, sold under your brand.
Takk Travel is a B2B destination management company (DMC) and incoming travel agency operating Çanakkale — Troy and Gallipoli — for travel agencies, tour operators, MICE planners and cruise lines worldwide. We do not sell to the public; we are your local ground partner in Türkiye.
Çanakkale's two great sites sit on opposite shores of the Dardanelles, so timing, ferry crossings and specialist guiding are everything — exactly what a DMC handles. We run it as a two-day Gallipoli & Troy program from Istanbul, as day trips from Çanakkale and Eceabat, or tailored to your itinerary — all delivered under your brand with net rates on request.
Çanakkale is a city and province in the northwest of Türkiye, set on the shores of the Dardanelles — the narrow strait, also called the Çanakkale Strait, that links the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara and separates the continents of Europe and Asia. For thousands of years this crossing has been one of the most strategically important places on earth.
The region holds two of Türkiye's most powerful sights, on opposite sides of the water. On the Asian shore lies Troy (Truva), the legendary city of Homer's Iliad and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rediscovered in the 1870s and paired since 2018 with an acclaimed modern museum. On the European shore, the Gallipoli Peninsula holds the battlefields, trenches and cemeteries of the 1915 campaign — a place of pilgrimage for Australians and New Zealanders, and hallowed ground in Turkish history.
Because the two face each other across the Dardanelles, Çanakkale is most rewarding as a two-day program, often from Istanbul, combining ancient legend with modern remembrance. Takk Travel operates both, with the ferry crossings, licensed specialist guides, hotels and timing handled by one local team.
For travel agencies and tour operators, Çanakkale delivers two unmissable, story-rich days that anchor any northwest Türkiye itinerary — sold under your brand, with net rates on request.

Çanakkale is in the northwest of Türkiye, on the shores of the Dardanelles strait, which divides Europe from Asia. It is roughly five to six hours from Istanbul by road, and the region straddles both the European (Gallipoli) and Asian (Troy) sides of the water.
Two world-famous sites: the ancient city of Troy — the UNESCO-listed setting of Homer's Iliad — and the Gallipoli Peninsula, site of the 1915 First World War campaign and its Anzac memorials. The Dardanelles strait itself is also of great historic importance.
Yes — this is the most popular way to experience Çanakkale. Troy and the Gallipoli battlefields are usually combined into a classic two-day program, most often from Istanbul, which we operate end to end.
Most visitors travel by road in around five to six hours, crossing the Dardanelles by ferry, as a day trip or with an overnight stay. Çanakkale also has its own small airport (CKZ). We arrange all transfers and ferry crossings.
Anzac Day is 25 April, commemorated each year with a dawn service at Anzac Cove and ceremonies at Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair. These are very popular, so we recommend arranging access and logistics well in advance.
