Gallipoli

Gallipoli means "beautiful city" in Ancient Greek. Gallipoli is one of the cities which is located in Canakkale (Dardanelles) province.
We could not spend so much to discover the city, we stopped by Gallipoli  on our way to Canakkle.








EATING

We have found a lovely fish resturant by the seashore, name of this lovely restaurant is İlhan. I strongly recommend you to go there when you are in Gallipoli.
