ANZAC Cove is the historic landing site where the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) came ashore on 25 April 1915, marking the beginning of the Gallipoli Campaign. Overlooking the beach is the famous Atatürk Memorial, featuring Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's heartfelt tribute to the mothers of the fallen Allied soldiers, symbolizing peace, respect, and reconciliation between nations.
Chunuk Bair is one of the highest and most significant points on the Gallipoli Peninsula. In August 1915, New Zealand forces captured the summit during one of the campaign's fiercest battles. Today, the Chunuk Bair New Zealand Memorial honors the soldiers who fought and lost their lives in this historic battle.
Johnston's Jolly was one of the most heavily contested positions during the Gallipoli Campaign. Visitors can still see the remarkably preserved Turkish and Allied trenches, offering a unique insight into the close-quarters fighting. The cemetery commemorates soldiers who lost their lives during the campaign, including members of both the Australian and New Zealand forces.
Lone Pine Cemetery & Memorial named after the solitary pine tree that once stood on the battlefield, Lone Pine Cemetery is the final resting place of more than 1,000 soldiers, many of them Australian. The nearby Lone Pine Memorial is one of the five major ANZAC memorials on the Gallipoli Peninsula and commemorates thousands of Australian soldiers with no known grave.
Troy is one of the world's most legendary ancient cities, best known as the setting of the Trojan War in Homer's Iliad. Destroyed and rebuilt many times throughout history, the site reveals thousands of years of civilization through its remarkable archaeological remains. Today, Troy is proudly listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
