Lapseki

Lapseki is a district of Çanakkale province on the Anatolian side. There are regular ferry services between Gallipoli and Gallipoli. It is thought to have taken its name from Lampsacus, the daughter of a philosopher who settled in this region during the Ancient Greek period. Lapseki is famous for its cherries and the Lapseki Cherry Festival is held every year. The Anatolian leg of the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge, which was opened in 2022, is located in Lapseki.
