Takk Travel — A DMC for Gallipoli, Troy & Çanakkale

Takk Travel is a B2B destination management company and incoming agency operating the Gallipoli Peninsula (Gelibolu), the ancient city of Troy and the Çanakkale region for travel agencies, tour operators and commemorative groups worldwide. We do not sell to the public.
Çanakkale is where two of Türkiye’s most powerful stories meet: the WWI battlefields of Gallipoli and the legendary city of Troy, divided by the Dardanelles strait. As your local DMC, we manage every ground element — licensed battlefield guides, the Dardanelles ferry, transfers from Istanbul or locally, Çanakkale hotels and full ANZAC Day logistics — while you keep the client and the margin.
