1. Gallipoli National Park

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.

This was a very moving place. It is an extremely beautiful peninsula and yet so much suffering took place there once upon a time. It is a beautiful memorial to the Ottoman and Australian soldiers that fought here and died. It is now a peaceful and beautiful memorial.

A moving and fitting tribute to soldiers who defended their homeland. I stopped here as part of a tour of the Helles beaches, after having visited Anzac the day before, which helped put it into context. The monument serves to venerate the Ottoman soldiers who died during the Gallipoli (or Cannakale) campaign. Without diminishing those on the other side. Well worth a visit to contemplate there is not just an English, French or Anzac story to tell here, rather the Turkish have their own vision of what occurred here in World War I.

Location of one of the key battles of the Gallipoli Champaign. There is monument to the over 1300 men of the New Zealand who perished capturing Chunuk Bair but for only 2 days before losing the position to a determined Turkish counterattack. There is a statue of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the Turkish officer instrumental to the success of the Turkish army in containing the Allies in the Gallipoli peninsula. He is also the founder of modern Turkey. The park and monuments are well maintained. To top of it off, the views of the surrounding areas at this location are stunning. This should be no surprise given the military significance of Chunuk Bair.
