The fortress on the rumelischen the [European] page he calls "Kilit bahir", was key to the sea means that on the Anatolian side he calls "Kale-i Sultaniye" [about: Fortress of the sultan]. In addition to the fortress to the contemporary city Çanakkale. This produces the people of the special clay soils bowl and mugs and will be known within a short time and famous. Therefore, called the city "Çanak kalesi" [çanak: bowl, kale: Fortress, Burg]. Later this name is known as Çanakkale.
At the point where Çanakkale, is the Cape Nara, where thousands of years ago, Abidos stand, and exactly opposite, ie Gallipoli on the page, another town called Sestos.
