Çanakkale, Dardanelles, Turkey

Çanakkale is your best base for visiting the Gallipoli battlefields and the ruins of Troy (although you can visit on a whirlwind day-trip from Istanbul, or a more comfortable overnight excursion by car or bus, or a Six-Day Self-Drive Tour from Istanbul to Ephesus).
Located on the southern shore of the Dardanelles strait (Hellespont), Çanakkale was the major strong-point in the defense of the Dardanelles from the time of the Trojans through World War I.
Today Çanakkale is a pleasant town with adequate hotels to serve travelers using the Dardanelles car ferries (Çanakkale-Eceabat and Gelibolu-Lapseki).
The local museum is fairly good.
Çanakkale's hotels are especially crowded on ANZAC Day (April 25th) when the World War I campaign is commemorated. (See Gallipoli for more.)
It's possible to visit Çanakkale, Troy and the Gallipoli battlefields in one day from Istanbul, but the travel time between Istanbul and Çanakkale is between five and six hours (340 km/211 miles), meaning that you may be traveling for 12 hours and visiting the sights for much less than that. An overnight excursion makes more sense, and a two-night trip is even better.
Atlasjet has a daily flight from Istanbul to Çanakkale, but it's usually at night—and only one flight a day—so it doesn't help much if you want to make the excursion in one day. By the time you go to Istanbul airport, pass through two security checks, check in and wait for your flight, collect your luggage in Çanakkale, and make your way from Çanakkale airport (CKZ) into town, I wonder if it's worth it.
