Kilitbahir Castle
Kilitbahir Castle is a fortress on the west side of the Dardanelles, opposite the city of Çanakkale, where there is a corresponding fortress (Kale-i Sultaniye), from which Çanakkale takes its name. The two castles were constructed by Fatih Sultan Mehmet in 1463 to control the straits at their narrowest point. Kilitbahir's name, meaning "lock of the sea", reflects this defensive purpose.
Madytos (Colony)
Madytos (or Maitos, or Madyta, Gr. Μάδυτος), by the modern town of Eceabat in Turkey) was an ancient Greek city and port of Thrace, located in the region of the Thracian Chersonesos (Thracian Peninsula). The city was a colony of Aeolians (a Greek tribe) from Lesbos who, according to the ancient authors, founded also Sestos and Alopekonessos and other cities of the Hellespont. This was part of the Greek colonization movement of the 8th-7th c. BC.
Xerxes' Pontoon Bridges
Xerxes' Pontoon Bridges were constructed in 480 BC during the second Persian invasion of Greece upon the order of Xerxes I of Persia for the purpose of Xerxes’ army to traverse the Hellespont (the present day Dardanelles) from Asia into Thrace, then also controlled by Persia (in the European part of modern Turkey). The bridges were described by the ancient Greek historian Herodotus in his Histories, but little other evidence confirms Herodotus' story in this respect.
Akbaş arms depot Raid
The Akbaş arms depot Raid was one of the actions of the Kuva-yi Milliye during the Turkish War of Independence. Led by the militia leader Köprülü Hamdi Bey and Dramalı Rıza Bey, the raid was conducted on the night of 26-27 January 1920.
