Kilitbahir

Kilitbahir is a pretty village on the Eastern Thrace|European bank of the Dardanelles. Backed by craggy mountains of the Gallipoli Peninsula that are covered by lush forests of pine and olives, it is a very scenic place with cobbled streets and stone buildings, and with great views over the strait towards Çanakkale and the rest of the Southern Marmara|Asian mainland.

Kilitbahir Halal Travel Guide

The name of the village, morphed from older Kilidülbahir, is Ottoman Empire|Ottoman Turkish for "the lock of the sea", as this is where the Dardanelles, a major sea passage connecting the Mediterranean with the Black Sea, is at its narrowest (1.2 kilometers/0.75 mi) between the village and Çanakkale just across. In a typically Eastern Thrace|Thracian way, local residents tend to call their village Kilitbayır, as speakers of the local Turkish dialect often avoid pronouncing the 'h' sound.

Travel to Kilitbahir

Minibuses run from Gelibolu at the far end of the peninsula, through Eceabat and the neighborhood centre.

Ferries from Çanakkale take about 15 minutes to cross the Dardanelles, arriving at either one of the two separate but closeby GPS 40.1523,26.3784 harbours just north of the village.

A road through the forests just above the waterline leads from Eceabat (5 kilometers), offering a highly scenic if a little strenuous drive with lots of sharp turns.

How to get around in Kilitbahir

The narrow, cobbled, and hilly streets of Kilitbahir are not great for looking around for a parking space, so it is best to park your vehicle on the main street along the coast and walk around. The main entrance to the village centre, uphill from the shore, is near the ferry harbour, marked with a brown signpost of Kilitbahir Kültür Merkezi (Kilitbahir Cultural Centre); there are also other alleys heading up there.

What to see in Kilitbahir

Kilitbahir has plenty of sights for its size, largely due to its strategic positioning on the chokepoint of the Dardanelles, commonly called "the Narrows".

• Kilitbahir Castle Kilitbahir Kalesi - Lending its name to the village, this is an immediately impressive fortress with a central clover-shaped tower which some liken to a heart, and extended walls towards a secondary tower in its south. Paired with the Çimenlik Castle, its Asian counterpart across in Çanakkale, it was built by Ottoman emperor Mehmet the Conqueror, either just before or just after his conquest of Constantinople (1453), in order to control the shipping of the Dardanelles.

• Fort Namazgah Namazgah Tabyası - The modern cousin of the medieval castle dates back to the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I.

Other sights are dispersed around the village.

• Tabib Hasan Pasha Mosque Tabib Hasan Paşa Camii

• İbrahim Pasha Fountain İbrahim Paşa Çeşmesi - A monumental marble fountain.

• Cahidi Sultan Shrine Cahidi Sultan Türbesi - Has a commanding view of the village and the castle below, and the Dardanelles and Çanakkale beyond.
