Zeitenlik WWI Cemetery

Reviewed By 824johny - Belgrade, Serbia

Well worth a stop, especially for the Serbian part, where the caretaker may be found and is happy to share the experiences his father and that generation went through. The Serbian shrine in particular is worth visiting, as once you get past the bottles upon bottles of donated rakija, you find a mini-museum of Serbian military history.

The cemetery also contains 19 First World War burials brought in from Suda Bay Consular Cemetery, 1 being unidentified. There are also 7 burials of other nationalities and 37 non-war burials.

To be honest, I had never really thought that a visit to a cemetery would be in any way inspiring or memorable, but I was totally wrong. For the first time I understood what it meant to pay one's respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in World War 2. Reading the inscriptions makes one feel so humble and thankful. All those very young boys, who should have had their lives in front of them, ended up a long way away from home. I had no idea that the CWGC maintained war cemeteries and was so impressed by the beauty and simplicity of this one. It was a very moving and emotional experience.

ANZAC veterans are here, it is beautifully maintained and a nice site. Would only recommend a visit if you were in the area or if you had direct interest to someone buried there
