Travel in Turkey

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning…we will remember them!
Every year on the 25th April, thousands of people come to Turkey to commemorate the World War I battle of Gallipoli. The battlefields and memorials are visited in the spirit of remembrance, and the tragic waste of young lives which helped shape the future of many countries is re-called. Feel the silence and let that be the horrific reminder of the ultimate sacrifice our forefathers made.

Most people who come to Istanbul land feet first in Sultanahmet. This peninsular (known as Sarayburnu) juts out at the apex of the Bosphorus, the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara. Rich in history, it's a natural magnet to millions of tourists every year. The home of Topkapi Palace, Aya Sophia, , Yerebatan, and the Hippodrome, Sultanahmet is filled to bursting with hotels, restaurants, cafes, bars, and souvenir shops as well as a plethora of fascinating museums, mosques, markets and historical sites. The main drag, Divan Yolu, is the heartbeat of the area and there are hundreds of tiny back streets and alleyways in which to explore and discover the history of the old city. The labyrinthine Covered Bazaar near Beyazit University is also on this street.

At the end of the Great War, the Allies returned to the Gallipoli Peninsula and cleared the battlefields of the bodies still unburied. In the nine months of the campaign more than 36,000 Commonwealth soldiers died and Australia suffered 26 094 casualties. The 31 war cemeteries on the peninsula contain 22,000 graves, but only 9000 of these were able to be identified. Featured is an animated map of Gallipoli showing all of the Australian war grave sites with lists of Australian names for Shrapnel Valley, Ari Burnu, Plugge's Plateau and Beach cemeteries.
