Lapseki, Administrative district in Çanakkale Province, Turkey.

Lapseki District covers 821 square kilometers along the Dardanelles Strait, containing three municipalities and forty villages within its boundaries.

The area transformed from a Greek colony named Lampsakos in the 6th century BC to an Ottoman territory after Süleyman Pasha's conquest in 1356.

The district celebrates its agricultural heritage through an annual Cherry Festival from June 2 to 12, featuring local produce and community gatherings.

Regular ferry services connect Lapseki to Gelibolu every hour, providing essential transportation links across the Dardanelles Strait.

The district maintains 15,000 military graves from the Turkish War of Independence, marking its role in national military history.
