Travelers’ Notebook
The best time to swim the Hellespont is late August and early September, when conditions are best. Those who wish to attempt the Straits Marathon should contact the Çanakkale Rotary club (contact Volkan Susluoglu; tel: 90–286-240348; fax: 90–286-2430637; email: [email protected]). The race takes place annually on August 30, but it is necessary to arrive at Çanakkale by the morning of the 29th. The race is free.
