Çanakkale is a city where history meets nature. Located in northwestern Türkiye, at the point where Asia and Europe face each other across the strait, it has been home to civilizations since antiquity — and today welcomes athletes and visitors from around the world.
Troy
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the legendary setting of the Trojan War from Homer's Iliad — just outside the city centre.
Gallipoli Peninsula

The Dardanelles & 1915 Çanakkale Bridge
The strait separating Europe and Asia — and the tournament's namesake — is today crossed by the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge and regular ferry services.
