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. As a matter of fact, 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.
