(info from wikitravel, not checked yet)Of the possibilities to cross the straits, the 24-hr(meaning it works all day, not that it takes 24h to cross!) Eceabat–Çanakkale ferry line, with 20-min intervals during busy morning to midnight hours, is likely to be the most convenient choice to get to the city from European mainland. It costs 2 TL for foot passengers, and 20 TL for cars (flat fare, i.e. not dependent on how many people are occupating the car).Passengers from Istanbul must be aware that, under bad weather conditions, the sea-traffic in the strait It is limited or cancelled, and crossing the strait may become impossibleeasy to hItchhike this ferry.

=== North west, ferry ===
The crossing takes around 30 minutes.
The ferry to Kilitbahir (5 minutes west of Eceabat) takes 10 minutes and goes more regularly. It also takes cars and is better to hitchhike as it is faster and more frequent.
Passengers from must be aware that, under bad weather conditions, the sea-traffic in the strait is limited or cancelled, and crossing the strait may become impossible.
A local said that sometimes just walking on to the Kilitbahir ferry (without paying) is tolerated, although it is so easy to hitchhike this is probably not necessary.
=== South (towards [[Ezine]], [[Izmir]]) ===
This route also passes through the junction of the road leading to ruins of legendary [[Troy]] (signposted ''Truva'', ''Troya'', or ''Troia''; shown as "Tevfikiye" on the map to right), about 30 km south of Çanakkale. If you are heading there, just get off at the junction and walk or hitch the remaining 2 km to the site.

== NB ==
[[Damaniacle]] saw many foreign cars taking the ferry at Çanakkale, and presumed they were driving between the western coast of turkey and [[Bulgaria]]. If you are going from [[Izmir]] to [[Bulgaria]] crossing the Bosphorus here would save 4 google map hours and the hassle of Istanbul.
