The coastline hugging the Dardanelles is home to plenty of lesser-seen ruins and monuments that most tourists miss in their haste to see Troy or explore Gallipoli's WWI battlefields.
If you have time, small sites such as Alexandria Trois are well worth seeking out for their atmosphere of half-forgotten glory. For those looking to splash about in the Dardanelles, the only beach where you're allowed to officially swim on the Gallipoli Peninsula is Brighton Beach near Kabatepe village.
This is a great place to come for a bit of sand, sun, and sea relaxation after you've finished sightseeing.
