When you take a walk on the waterfront in the city center of Çanakkale or sit by the sea; when you look a little bit towards the opposite shore, a feeling wraps around you; and it is the gratitude and thankfulness to the martyrs whom we share the same sky together, which is embraced, to be felt and will always be felt…

It will be just sufficient to go to the Gallipoli Historical Area in Eceabat in order to understand the war of independence of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his fellow soldiers, the robin (Mehmetçik), who wrote the name of Çanakkale Victory, a heroic epic, with the golden letters. The visit will take you to the depths of history that will that will bear the footsteps of the battle for freedom and lead you to many places such as Çanakkale Martyrs’ Monument, Rumelia Mecidiye Bastion over identified with the name of Corporal Seyit, Sergeant Yahya Martyrdom, 57th Infantry Regiment Martyrdom, Arıburnu Cliffs and Conkbayırı Robin (Mehmetçik) Inscriptions.

The Information Center for Çanakkale Epic located in Kabatepe Port region, the Bigali Atatürk House and Museum found in Bigali Village, the Kilitbahir Castle, one of the fortresses built to protect the entrance to the Dardanelles, the Kilitbahir Village, which evokes the feeling of a village built on the sea, and a beautiful sea view where you can take a short break in the village of Seddülbahir in Eceabat should be among the places that you must not leave the region without visiting.
