From Wikipedia

Alçıtepe, also known by its former name, Krithia (Greek: Κριθία), is a small village in Turkey on a commanding high plateau, about 4 miles from Cape Helles, the tip of the Thracian Chersonesos, now Gallipoli Peninsula. It is part of the Eceabat District of Çanakkale Province. Its population is 433 (2021). Krithia was named after the grain "krithos", which in Greek means "barley"; a nearby cape was also called Krithea (Κριθέα) in Byzantine times, now Akbaş Burnu.
