Important Visits in Gallipoli

• Visiting the well-known spots like the Anzac Cove, Lone Pine, and Chunuk Bair, paying respects at the cemeteries and seeing the War Museum is a significant experience, and you can be sure that your every step is a step taken towards world peace.
• One of the most heart melting and enlightening places on Earth with some natural and man-made settings of a painful war.
• The visit makes one think what makes a young man leave his beloved ones behind and go as far as the other side of the world to fight.
• Remains of the ammunition and the daily belongings from the fronts and trenches in the museum from both sides of the campaign create a very real atmosphere of the chaos, fear, and fight that went on both in fronts and in their hearts.
• The words of Ataturk inscribed on the Anzac Memorial shows what a true human is: one who doesn't hold grudges against anybody and can even embrace the enemy.
• Respect to Mehmetcik Memorial shows that the boundless human heart can surpass fear or dislike under extreme conditions and become a compassionate helping hand.

Human life, yes, is precious but what's life without freedom...
