An evening downtown in Çanakkale means bouncing between walking the waterfront promenade, watching the far side of the strait, and sitting somewhere to talk. Being a university town gives the place an energy that oddly — but nicely — balances out the calm of the shore. Promenade, narrow backstreets, or just heading down to sit by the water? Don't sort through them one by one — leave the dice on the table and walk whichever direction the number sends you.
