Property for Sale in Çanakkale: Flat, Stone House on Bozcaada
Çanakkale lies on the Dardanelles, the strait between Europe and Asia, with Troy on the doorstep, the Gallipoli peninsula opposite and the islands of Bozcaada and Gökçeada off the coast. Property for sale in Çanakkale means a city flat by the water, a stone house on the island or a house in the countryside.
An evening on the Çanakkale promenade: the ferries cross the strait, the memorials on Gallipoli light up on the far side, and you sit with tea by the water. At the weekend you cross to Bozcaada, wine from the winemaker, fish in the harbour, wind in your hair. On Monday you are back in town, market on Friday, fish straight from the boat.
Where Çanakkale lies and how it feels
The town lies on the Asian shore of the Dardanelles. Çanakkale airport (CKZ) is on the spot, otherwise you travel via Istanbul (IST) or Edremit (EDO). Since 2022 the Çanakkale Bridge has connected the two shores.
A university town with a long waterfront promenade, ferries, history on every corner and a wine-growing tradition on Bozcaada that is now well known. The town is lively and young, the islands quiet and windy.

Property for sale in Çanakkale: flat, house or plot
Buying a flat in Çanakkale
You will find flats in the town, often with a view of the strait, and in the coastal towns.
Buying a house or villa
Houses and stone houses stand on Bozcaada and Gökçeada and in the villages.
Buying a plot
Plots are available in the surrounding countryside, and we check the restrictions on the islands beforehand.
By the sea, with sea views or an affordable start
In Çanakkale you get views over the Dardanelles, and in the town they are affordable: flats on the promenade and on the hillsides above the water. Living by the sea here means the strait or the island coast, and villas with a pool stand in the coastal towns to the south. You can start affordably with a resale flat in town, while stone houses on Bozcaada are in demand and cost correspondingly more. We give you prices for specific properties.
