Canakkale

Left Kusadasi by car (hotel organised and paid) to meet our bus in Selcuk. We travelled to the otogar in Izmir and came into bay 152 on the top level; we then had to make our way downstairs to bay 17. This is another huge bus station – one could easily become lost or miss a connection here.

The wooden horse is from the set of the movie ‘Troy’.






Everything went well for us and we had a very pleasant 7 hour journey to Cannakale.











After checking into the ANZAC hotel we took a walk along the waterfront to take in the ambience and a Canakkale sunset. Dinner consisted of 2 kebabs for 3 YTL (about $NZ3.00) the best deal we have had yet.


Tomorrow we do a tour of Gallipoli and catch a bus back to Kusadasi – hope to be there before midnight.

OK,
I got it, Gallipoli is right there in Turkey, but there is one in Italy too. I couldn't figure it out for a minute there
Have a map of Turkey and am tracing your journey
