About this route
The drive normally uses the Malkara–Çanakkale Motorway and the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge, which opened on 18 March 2022 and has a main span of 2,023 m according to official announcements. Ferries also cross the Dardanelles, but timetables and weather cancellations vary, so check the operator, GESTAŞ, if you plan to use them.
A private transfer takes you from your hotel or address in Istanbul to your hotel or address in Çanakkale in one vehicle. It is a long leg: many travellers split it with an overnight stay and visit Troy, which UNESCO inscribed in 1998, and the Gallipoli area from the town.
