Gelibolu, Seaport town in Çanakkale Province, Turkey
The town stretches along a narrow peninsula where the Dardanelles Strait meets the Sea of Marmara, featuring a waterfront and historic fortifications.
Gelibolu became the first Ottoman conquest in Europe during 1356, establishing a crucial military base for further expansion into the Balkans.
The town contains multiple war cemeteries and memorials that commemorate the soldiers who lost their lives during the 1915 Dardanelles Campaign.
Regular ferry services connect Gelibolu to Istanbul, while road networks provide access to major cities including Edirne and Çanakkale.
A sixth-century storehouse built by Byzantine Emperor Justinian I and a fourteenth-century square castle remain as testimonies of the town's strategic importance.
