Gallipoli

A visit to the Gallipoli Peninsula, where thousands of Anzac, British and Turkish troops died during World War I, is both moving and disconcerting. For Australians and New Zealanders in particular, visiting Anzac Cove at at Gallipoli has become something akin to a pilgramage. Each year thousands flock to the site on April 25, Anzac Day, for the service. But it is also a magnet to travellers throughout the year who want to see the famous battleground.
