Search flights from ESB to CKZ
1915 Çanakkale Bridge
The world's longest suspension bridge, an engineering marvel spanning the Dardanelles with distinct red towers.
Gallipoli Peninsula
A clear view of the historic WWI battlefields and the prominent Çanakkale Martyrs' Memorial at the tip.
Dardanelles Strait
The strategic waterway connecting the Sea of Marmara to the Aegean Sea, often filled with international cargo ships.
Kilitbahir Castle
The unique heart-shaped fortress built by Fatih Sultan Mehmet at the narrowest point of the strait.
Gökçeada in Distance
On clear days, Turkey's largest island can be seen floating on the horizon of the Aegean Sea.
The right side is the 'star' of this route. To get the best views of the 1915 Bridge, ensure you are seated behind the wing if possible. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Gallipoli monuments and the strait perfectly.
Book Hotels in Canakkale
Lake Uluabat
A stunning Ramsar-protected wetland featuring several small islands and turquoise waters near Bursa.
Mount Ida (Kaz Dağları)
The majestic mountain range famous in Greek mythology, offering lush green landscapes and deep valleys.
Ancient City of Troy
On the final approach from the south, the archaeological site of the legendary Trojan War is visible.
Lake Manyas
Also known as Bird Lake, this national park is a vital stop for migratory birds in the Marmara region.
Sit on the left if you are interested in the mountainous terrain of the Biga Peninsula and the archaeological sites south of the city. Morning flights on this side may experience some sun glare, so late afternoon is better for photography of the landscape.
