Turkiye 2023: Gallipoli/Canakkale
The main reason for the stop to Gallipoli is to visit the Anzac (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Memorial/Cemetery. Gallipoli is the site of the famous Ottoman victory against the Allies during WW 1.
Along the beach by the Dardanelles is the memorial where photos and notes about the battle were plastered on the wall.
The cemetery is by the beach and so peaceful. They could not have chosen a better spot for these soldiers' eternal rest.
We visited the cemetery for fallen Turkish soldiers which we reached a short drive away.
Along the way we passed by some trenches from the war.
Closer look at the bridge.
For the night, we stayed at another wonderful hotel by the Dardanelles. We watched the sunset by the shoreline while having a little happy hour drinks.
This is the back of the hotel, by the pool. Our rooms have views of the Dardanelles.
After a very heavy meal punctuated by four or five servings of dessert, a walk around the hotel was needed. It was a very beautiful evening.
Sadly, we will be spending only one night here and then on to another city.
