Hotels in Çanakkale Province, Turkey
Çanakkale Province sits on the Dardanelles Strait in northwestern Turkey, with a Mediterranean climate of hot, dry summers (reaching 90°F/32°C) and mild, rainy winters (around 50°F/10°C). It's famous for the World War I Gallipoli campaign battlefields and the ancient city of Troy, so in spring (April-May) you can explore both without the summer crowds and heat. In summer, head to the coastal town of Assos for swimming and windsurfing in the Aegean, while winter's cheaper rates make it perfect for touring the Çanakkale Naval Museum and tasting local sardines at a fraction of the peak-season price.
