Places that will be visited during the Youth Exchange Ezine-Çanakkale Ezine, famed for its white cheese, is located on the site of the ancient city of Neandria. Ezine sits astride the highway running from Çanakkale to İzmir. Among historical delights in Ezine there is the one of the earliest examples of Ottoman mosques, the Abdurrahman Mosque, or the Sefer Şah Mosque built from the remains of ancient ruins in the area and right near it is the cell and grave of the 14th century hermit Ahi Yunus.

5 Neandria The ancient city of Neandria is very close to the Ezine city centre. The Aiolya Temple on the foothills of Çığrı Mountain was in Neandreia. The ancient city was a tax paying member of the Attica Delos Sea Union. The city surrendered to the Spartan commander Derkilidas in 33 BC. In 400 BC, the city formed a union with Alexandria Troias. The city was completely surrounded by walls and its acropolis is about 500 metres above the level of the sea. From here you have a wide view over the small Lake Ulubey, the Aegean Sea and Bozcaada. A short voyage from Ezine to the south from the seaside, taking you through very significant historical places, brings you to the westernmost point of the Turkish mainland, Babakale. When you head towards the Aegean coastline from Ezine your first stop is Geyikli, a small and pleasant small town on the road. First we head north to Kumburun. The road you take is lined with a thick coat of vegetation and centuries old pine trees. Then you come to the Kumburun coastline. The Kumburun beach is not much frequented, with very few people having discovered it as yet and will attract your interest with its clear blue waters and its coves. Since the natural structure of Kumburun is suitable for carrying out landings from the sea it was one of the most important position of the Gallipoli War. The four batteries emplaced during the war, the concrete underground shelters and the machine guns in dark tunnels will give you a thrilling feeling. On the historical cove there is a motel and a restaurant. On the neighbouring coves you will come across facilities for accommodation and camping. Kumburun is also a haven for fish. The nets left at night are filled with fish by the morning and Kumburun's restaurant is ready to serve. Çanakkale Çanakkale, is a town and seaport in Turkey, in Çanakkale Province, on the southern (Asian) coast of the Dardanelles (or Hellespont) at their narrowest point. Çanakkale Province, like Istanbul Province, has territory in both Europe and Asia. Ferries cross here to the northern (European) side of the strait.çanakkale is the nearest major town to the site of ancient Troy. The "wooden horse" from the 2004 movie Troy is exhibited on the seafront. History The city which hosted many civilizations; had been inhabited by the natives who had lived on Biga Peninsula in the Last Chalcolithic Age believed to have started 6000 years ago. However, those natives are unknown. According to some excavations and research, the earliest settlements in the region were set up at Kumtepe. It is supposed that Kumkale was set up in 4000 B.C and Troy was set up between B.C. The real history of Çanakkale started with Troy. It was the brightest cultural center of its time during B.C.Later the Aeolians had settled on that important land in the 8th century B.C. they founded many trade colonies in the region called Aeolis.

6 The region went under the control of the Lydians in the 7th century B.C and under the control of the Persians in the 6 th century B.C. Aeolis went under the control of the Macedonians as Alexander the Great defeated the Persians by the Granicus River of the region in the Battle of the Granicus on his way to Asia. The region went under the reign of the Kingdom of Pergamon in the 2nd century B.C.The western part of the Biga Peninsula where Troy was stiuated was called Troas. Alexandria Troas, an important settlement of the region, was a free trade port and a rich trade center during Roman times. Later in the 2nd cenury A.D., the region was attacked by Goths from Thrace. The Dardanelles gained more strategic importance. The Gallipoli Peninsula was attacked by the Thins in the 5th century and by the Uyghurs in the mid-6th century. During the 7th and 8th centuries, in order to attack Constantinople (modern İstanbul) the Arabs passed the Strait a few times and came up to Sestos. In the beginning of the 14th century the Cathons became dominant in the Gallipoli part and Karesioğulları dominated the Anatolian part. During the first half of that century Demirhan Bey from Karesioğulları attempted to dominate the region. The Ottomans gained control of Galipoli in The 'Chanak Crisis' of 1922 centred around a British and French force stationed at Çanakkale after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire. The new Turkish Republic demanded their withdrawal. Lloyd George wanted to fight the Turks because their leader at 'Chanak', Kemal Atatürk, had defied a signed and legal treaty via armament and military aggressiveness. Ultimately, the British and Turkish troops ended up at an impasse. Rather than engaging in another war on the heels of the first World War, peace was negotiated.
