We also had to carry our luggage to and from the ferry ( not good ) so many other hotels in Canakkale you could use other than this cheap one star .

“I booked this trip a month ago and was looking forward to this trip. Unfortunately we had to miss it. Two days before the trip the company confirmed our itinerary as starting at 7 am and the day before changed the pick up time to 5 am. Since it was not possible for us to travel to the pick up location at 5 am, I asked to cancel. They refused quoting their policy of 24 hour notice (even though they switched the time less than 24 hours in advance). Still trying to get my refund from Viator directly.”

If there's any complaint I have it's that we didn't get to go to the on-site museum or gift shop, I stead going to a nearby village to buy souvenirs, but overall it was a great day out and I'd recommend it to anyone, particularly a solo traveller like me!”
