The small port of Canakkale guards the entire straits of the Dardanelles, and therefore it has a major strategic importance for the Turks. Many tourists come to Canakkale to visit the World War I-era Gallipoli Battlefields, but also the site of ancient Troy located nearby. The 'wooden horse' from the 2004 movie Troy is exhibited on the seafront. Canakkale is located less than ten miles away from the Greek island of Lesbos, making it a great place to start an island-hopper journey. For Turks, Çanakkale holds profound importance. It was the battleground where the Turkish army, facing a formidable multinational force backed by the era's mightiest navy, successfully thwarted the enemy, preventing an invasion of the Turkish homeland.
