Zeus Altar

Zeus Altar is located at 280 m altitude on legendary Mount Ida in Kucukkuyu, Canakkale Province. According to Homer, the Gods lived on Mount Ida and watched and led the Trojan War from here. Studies have shown that the altar was dedicated to the chief god Zeus, and you can reach the top via a ladder consisting of steps carved into the rock. On the hill, there are altar niches, sitting platforms, and a hollowed-out cistern space that can still be seen. Plus, the tomb of Erdem Dede, who participated in the Dardanelles Wars, can be visited as well.
