Gallipoli war memorials, near Eceabat
The battlefields of Gallipoli were the scene of the bloodiest campaigns of World War L scores of war cometeries and monuments, both Allied and Turkish, have been maintained within a singularly evocative memorial park.
This covers a wild and beautiful country---the largest strech of Aegean coast to remain wholly undeveloped.
Highlights include the Anzac Cove, the site of an Australian-New Zeland landing in 1915, and Chunuk Hill, where the trenches of opposing forces lie within a few metres of each other.
How to get to Gallipoli war memorials: The road to the (more intereting) northern sector of the park branches off 3km N of Eceabat. A full tour-over Anafartalar-Kabatepe-Alcitepe-Seddulbahir-Kilitbahir covers about 80km.
