"GALLIPOLI NATIONAL PARK" Turkey Things to Do Tip by neodue

Here is the one of the Important place to see in Turkey.A monument of the near past of The world and Turkey.

you can check the web page of national park for getting an idea and in the web page
check the map how huge that area .You can do 1 day tour but 8 hour go and return istanbul and the tour will be in rush and you will see just a commercial tour.

I recommend to you go to Canakkale 1st day stay there and go to Gallipoli.
it is a peninsula not a town or village.you need to visit lots of village and place to see and understand and cry.

If you hire a car that would be better.in the middle of the peninsula there is a information centre you can make your plan and you can visit the places.

cemeteries,battlefields,monuments,villages it is a world.

for example if you just visit a cemetery of ANZAC this is just visiting a ANZAC cemetgery in Turkey.

you need all they tour to get the wiew.

I tell you something about Gallipoli(GELIBOLU) (it means Beautiful city inn greek)
It s a huge peninsula and very important battle in Middle asia and it s very importan for turks too.When you go to Gallipoli peninsula you will see the
a War museum in KABATEPE and you will get a map of The peninsula.
You must visit ALCITEPE private SALIM MUTLU museum.Alcitepe is a small village
and this nice man collected lots of important piece in his village and peninsula.

So When you go there you will drop lots of tear drop.When I was there with my wife I understood war is worst thing in the world.

I would like to say someyhing abput French War Cemetery.It is in the edge of the Gallipoli Peninsula .It is a beach head.But very wrong place to landing the soldiers.Cause suddenly
rising hills and rocks surrounding the beach and poor French Army lost hundreds soldiers.

Why the name of the Bay is DEATH (MORTO).
