Yeşilyurt Village is located within the borders of Ayvacık district in the south of Çanakkale, situated at the foothills of Mount Ida, which holds significant importance in Greek mythology, known as Kaz Dağı in Turkish. According to mythology, the first beauty contest attended by Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena took place on Mount Ida, known today as Mount Kaz Dağı.

With a history dating back 700 years, Yeşilyurt Village, formerly known as Büyük Çetmi, has been a place where Greeks and Turks coexisted for centuries.

Located just 2.5 km from the sea and 500 meters inland from the Çanakkale road, Yeşilyurt Village is one of the rare places where you can experience the magnificent harmony of mountains and the sea. This unique village promises visitors an unforgettable experience by offering a perfect combination of history, nature, and culture.
