Decided to do this trip DIY.
Caught the car ferry from Canakkale (Tl35 O/W for car and driver) and drove north via Eceabat ( an alternative ferry port ) and then inland to Kabatepe.
From there I drove along a beautiful cost road visiting Anzac Cove and surroundings. Some of the Cemeteries names gives you pause for thought like SHRAPNEL VALLEY CEMETERY or HELL SPIT CEMETERY.
Doing a self drive allowed me to stop and ponder at leisure.
I drove south taking in a range of other Sights including the Cape Helles memorial ( where I accidentally came across my family name a number of times ) and included a trip up to Abide ( a massive, massive stone monument )
What I particularly liked was the small ( compared to Normandy etc ) Cemeteries mostly located where offensives took place.

All of them are heroes and they deserve great respect. We should also know very well history. Construction of monument lasted more than ten years and was finished with donations. The monument delineates two soldiers with shoulder to shoulder. There was also museum under the monument but it was closed seven years ago. You can sea Aegean and Marmara seas from this monument. There are also Cemeteries here. You should see also unnamed soldier tomb.

Our tour to the Gallipoli fields and memorials were with Kenan Celik organised by Wilusa Travel.
He is the most respected authority on the campaign and has been consulted in numerous books and programmes. He is described by Lonely Planet as 'One of Turkey's foremost experts on the Gallipoli campaign'.
Recommended by the Telegraph and many researchers into this, he offers a balanced account from both the Allied and the Turkish side of this complex and tragic period.

Gallipoli was the site of a major battle in World War I and this peninsula, part of the Dardanelles, is still remembered as a major defeat for the Allied Forces—and a springboard for the future Turkish leader Mustafa Kemal. The beautiful, quiet park is dotted with memorials and other features; it is the site of a big annual memorial for the thousands of Australian and New Zealand forces who died here.

High overlooking the beach, and with the graves and inscribed names of so many soldiers who died in the conflict, this is a frequently visited site by Auzzies and Kiwis - but it should be by others too. Hundreds of thousands of casualties on all sides in WWI. Very well tended by the Turkish former adversaries. When we were there in November, we were the only visitors, due to the uncertain political atmosphere and recent terrorist acts in other parts of Turkey. We had a guide and felt safe all the time.

Only someone who has lost the opportunity to live in this island because some governments decided that
can tell you how precious this island is.
Its a beautiful place with a wonderful castle, traditional houses shops and roads all of them don't stop to remind you that Greeks used to or still live there.

A visit to the Temple on top of the highest hill in Assos on a sunny day is absolutely breath taking.. You can experience the full glory of the Aegean and feel like you are one of the Gods or Goddesses...The site is well preserved and there is info about the temple.

Reviewed By katethepict - Inverness, scotland
Husband had heard it was interesting - and it was! Manned by young men doing their national service - some grumpier than others! (you have to pay extra to take photographs). It was strange viewing their collection as it was exhibited from the victor's point of view - Gallipoli was Churchill's mistake. Nevertheless, the history of shipping in this important seaway was fascinating - and included a guided tour (in English) of a mine-laying craft which still tours schools in the area.

It is place where you can experience a decent Turkish hospitality. There are lots of shops and cafes. They also have mosque around there. I would recommend buying some souvenirs for your loved ones. Other than the shopping streets you can just enjoy the view around the ruins of Behramkale.

Far more impressive replica of the Trojan horse than the one actually at Troy. This was a prop used in Brad Pitts film on Troy which was donated to the town. Well located on the sea front for photos.
