As permanent travelers for the last 5 years I have lost count of how many castles we have been through, but this is now number one on both of our lists. The first word that came to mind was massive! The architecture and design are wonderful, but make sure you go through the building in the center and you can climb up four or five stories! A definite must visit location

In 1463, Fatih Sultan Mehmet constructed two castles to control the straits at their narrowest point. Kilitbahir Castle is a fortress on the west side of the Dardanelles,located on the opposite of the city of Çanakkale. The corresponding fortress (Kale-i Sultaniye) is located in Çanakkale.

September 18, 2022, few visitors were there on a sunny day. Admissions were 30TR/15TR for adult/student. We spent 15 minutes and 1.5 hours in Yellow Tower and the Kilitbahir Castle respectively. While planning the trip, we used 5 minutes to look up the background of Kilitbahir Castle. This told us that the castle acted an important role of the history of Turkiye.

Magnificent castle, its easily accessible, a few minutes walk from Kilitbahir Port. There's a visitor fee of 30tl (October 2022), or you can use the Museum Card (if its valid for museums around the country).

The castle looked elegant and sturdy. There were statues erected here and there, so you could see how the soldiers fought inside the castle at that time.

Unique, a must see. When you are there , it is even more impressive .Huge, with so much story and tech, working together, future and past all in one.

A wonderful place. They made buildings to last in the past!! #vintagearchitecture ❤️❤️❤️ It is worth making the effort to go up to the top. The views are stunning. I love Turkey!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ What an amazing country. Scrumptious cuisine. Friendly, hospitable people.

The Castle build by Memhet II is well preserved and larger than I expected, with a lot of defence mounds. As it stands in Eceabat I can say that this little village is wonderful.

beautiful castle, nice view, clean toilets

Die Gallipoli Schlacht hat hier stattgefunden .Montags und Donnerstags ist das Museum geschlossen.

Entry ticket must, museum card not allowed.. early visit would be better.. very near from Kilitbahir ferry..

Impresive castle!!! Well done maintenaned!!! Entry fee 60 TRY for a family of 4 ( 2 adults, 1 child 7 years of age, and one child 3 years of age). Nice place, I'm happy a had the chance to see it!!

A historical castle with a beautiful view should be visited with the family to enjoy its charm. Additionally, you can indulge in a meal from the nearby fishermen and relish the ambiance.

Amazing castle and even prettier at night with the display lights flooding the castle walls. Some areas of castle floors were closed (june'23) due to refurbishment but plenty more to be seeing there and a lovely walk along sea front too. The rooms were alittle warm inside and humid too but air con is in the rooms but could be cooler. Lovely statues mounted here and there along top of castle walls as if keeping a look out over you and castle. Well worth seeing if in the area.

Excellent. Good stuff and beautiful place.

Fantastic view, quiet, nice atmosphere. Easy to get to from Çanakkale with ferry boat (8 TL one way)

The place is soo unique and give wonderful and historic look.

We really enjoyed this place. Loads of parking and with good paths etc within the castle even youngsters can enjoy it. Great views. Information boards in English.
