Just FYI! These pictures are from the War Museum, which is 4 MINS driving from this specific location, don’t get confused! Not the best indicated, a bit confusing and less information than expected. If you drive to this specific location/building, you will not be able to enter. To go to the War Museum drive further in that road and then turn to the right when you see it indicated.

Beautiful and moving site which gives insight into the history surrounding the founding of the Turkish Republic. One of the most impactful locations on the Gallipoli peninsula.

The size of this park in terms of territory and how the people of Turkey have kept history alive is truly impressive. Moreover, the cleanliness and maintenance of all monuments deserves admiration. Can really meet global criteria. It’s definitely worth the visit but give yourself at least two or three days if you want to see everything. Also beware of turtles! 🐢☺️

Great time spent here. Moment of reflection for the legendaries, braveries and patriotism of a people led by the strong faith in their heart and readiness to sacrifice their lives and souls for the future of only their people but all the marginalised and underprivileged people of the world. This peninsula witnessed a war where all the odds were against the Turks but their faith and bravery won them a legend unequalled anywhere in the history of the world.

It is a great location in the history of WW1 and Turkish history as well. It can be done on a single day from Istanbul. The presence of a good guide I think is essential, since it is difficult to be appraised of the entire history of events or their significance.

I lived in Australia and New Zealand for a few years and Gallipoli is almost a founding myth in those respective countries. It was fascinating to come here and see the place and battle(s) I heard so much about. What was really interesting was also to see it from Ottoman/Turkish perspective. What's amazing about the whole complex is how the winning side the Turks have almost dedicated it to losing side renaming the landing area to Anzac cove etc. I can't think of anywhere else where such a thing has happened. I did a tour which you almost have to do. It's a big site so walking and local buses are not a realistic prospect. It was really hot so bring water and sunscreen but most of all if you have heard of Gallipoli and have any interest in it absolutely worth a visit.

The trip of my life! I wanted to visit the gallipoli peninsula all my life. Now that I got here and I attended a tour program I get to learn all that I wanted to learn first handedly. The weather is good but could be better. So maybe later in May or even June is better timing for the Gallipoli visit. The tour costs only ₺70 per person lunch included.

Breathtaking. It was quiet, peaceful and offered an opportunity to see what all of those young men from all sides went through. Unbelievable bravery from all soldiers who gave their lives for their country.

Truly emotional experience Glad we got there, a little difficult to reach as words are pronounced differently and locals don't speak English all road signs in turkish

It was a very rewarding day, spent on the Gallipoli Peninsula. We started in a unique way, on board a boat and approaching “Ari Burnu” (ie ANZAC Cove) from the sea - much as the ‘diggers’ did some 100 years ago. What a perspective.

Beautiful experience and highly recommend to anyone visiting turkey. The Turkish government has done a wonderful job with the memorials for the ANZAC soldiers. A tour guide will take you around the land and show you all the important spots. Anzac cove was breathtaking and it was very moving.

Beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. I think the amount of care Turkey puts into maintaining this historic site is wonderful. Ataturk should be proud ❤️

An extremely moving experience. The care and effort that is put in to this site is evident through the well maintain sights. There are lots of places on the side of the road to park safely and pay your respects.

A very intriguing place to visit if only you feel strong enough not to break down and cry...

The main Commonwealth battle memorial for the whole Gallipoli campaign, also commemorating the 20,956 Commonwealth servicemen with no known grave who died in the campaign in 1915–1916, during the First World War. There are also panels for those who died or were buried at sea in Gallipoli waters. Well maintained with ample parking. Memorial is used as the site for the British Commemorative Service around ANZAC Day.

I'll use this one location to review the whole of the southern part of the peninsular. Directions and signage is clear, roads are modern and wide, and information boards in English and Turkish (with some in French and German too) are interspersed along the route. The war graves are immaculate and well worth walking around. Places to park exist at the big monuments, but not too many on the roads. There are shops in villages on the route where you can buy snacks and water/drinks, but it is worth taking some with you. Very little shade so if it's sunny take an umbrella.

Very moving to be there and to see my great grandfather's submarine chiseled intimate the wall.

We stopped at “Cape Helles” on the remote tip of the Gallipoli Peninsula to visit the British Commonwealth’s “Helles Memorial”. All of the Aus. & NZ units which fought between April to Dec 1915 are honoured here. Very moving.

Great view and understanding of the beach landing locations.

This memorial was unveiled in 1924 for the soliders who do not have a known grave by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. It is almost 30 meters and very glorious. The most crowded place of Gallipoli War Zone is the main Martials' Memorial and here is pretty quite. There is a huge parking lot in front of it. It is very close to Fort Ertuğrul as well and you can visit them both at the same time. This is one of the important places that you should not miss to see if your visiting Gallipoli.

A must see from the Allies perspective. We were the only visitors and the views are outstanding across to Greece.

It is an monument dedicated to the most well know Gelibolu born person. I personally do not like the monument, feel that it does not have any artistic and/or meaninful characteristics and worse than previous one but better than nothing.

You shoul see it while trabelling around the peninsula

(Translated by Google) The monument is a bit neglected and the writings have been erased. (Original) Anıt biraz bakımsız kalmış yazılar filan silinmiş

(Translated by Google) In our country where the workmanship quality of monumental statues is poor, it has become a quality work that shows respect to the memory of Piri Reis. Well done to those who made it. (Original) Anıt heykellerinin işçilik kalitesin kötü olduğu ülkemizde Piri Reis’in anısına saygı göstere kaliteli bir eser olmuş. Yapanların eline sağlık.

(Translated by Google) I visited the Piri Reis Monument. He was renowned among Turkish sailors and authored the famous Kitab-ı Bahriye (Book of the Sea). Is this enough respect for Piri Reis, who drew the world map on a nearly flawless piece of gazelle hide? The monument is beautiful, but the inscriptions have been erased. The mosaic of the world map painted on the ground has been damaged. I hope the authorities will not ignore this situation and take action... Stay tuned for more ;) (Original) Piri Reis Anıtı'nı ziyaret ettim. Türk denizcileri arasında nam salmış. Meşhur Kitab-ı Bahriye'yi yazmış. Dünya haritasını kusursuza yakın ceylan derisi üzerine çizen Piri Reis'e saygı bu kadar mı? Anıt güzel fakat, yazılar silinmiş. Yere yapılan dünya haritası mozaiki zarar görmüş. Yetkili birimlerin bu duruma kayıtsız kalmayıp el atması dileğiyle... Daha fazlası için takipte kalın ;)

(Translated by Google) Following the death of his uncle in 1511, Piri Reis did not go to the open seas for a while and settled in Gallipoli, where he drew the first world map dated 1513. In this map, he covered the Atlantic Ocean, the Iberian Peninsula, the west of Africa and the east coast of the new world, America. He drew the map. It is very sad that the writings on the monument of such an important person are illegible and faded. Let's protect our values. (Original) 1511'de amcasının ölümünün ardından, bir süre için açık denizlere açılmayan ve Gelibolu'ya yerleşerek burada, 1513 tarihli ilk dünya haritasını çizen Piri Reis, bu haritasında Atlas Okyanusu, İber Yarımadası, Afrika'nın batısı ile yeni dünya Amerika'nın doğu kıyılarını kapsayan haritayı çizdi. Böyle önemli bir insanın anıtının üzerindeki yazıların okunmaz silik olması çok üzücü. Değerlerimize sahip çıkalım.

(Translated by Google) Although there is no definitive information about the birth date of Piri Reis, whose real name was Ahmed Muhiddin Piri, he was born between 1465 and 1470 in Gallipoli, known as a Turkish naval base. He was the son of Karamanlı Hacı Ali Mehmed and the nephew of the renowned Ottoman navigator and Mediterranean Admiral Kemal Reis. Muhiddin Piri lived in Gallipoli until the age of eleven. Educated by his family until the age of eleven, Muhiddin Piri learned to read and write, and embarked on his first maritime career aboard the ships of his uncle, Kemal Reis. Between 1483 and 1493, he and his uncle participated in raids in the Mediterranean, including those on the coasts of Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, and France. In 1486, when Muslims suffering oppression in Granada, the last city under Muslim rule in Andalusia, sought help from the Ottoman Empire, Kemal Reis and his nephew, Muhiddin Piri, traveled to Spain and carried the Muslims to North Africa. Bayzade II, preparing for a campaign to capture Venice, called on sailors engaged in piracy in the Mediterranean to join his fleet. Consequently, he served as an Ottoman ship commander in the Ottoman Navy's struggle for maritime control against the Venetian Navy between 1499 and 1502, becoming the first warship captain. Piri Reis's accounts of the places he saw and the events he experienced during his Mediterranean voyages formed the opening chapter of his book, Kitab-ı Bahriye (Book of the Sea), which would become the first guidebook on world navigation. Following his uncle's death in 1511, Piri Reis refrained from sailing on the high seas for a period. He settled in Gallipoli, where he first drew the first world map, dated 1513. Piri Reis, a great navigator as well as a cartographer, created geographical maps and historical features of the places he visited. When Egypt became part of the Ottoman Empire in 1517, Piri Reis had the opportunity to meet Yavuz Sultan Selim personally, who sailed with a fleet to Alexandria. He presented the sultan with a world map he had previously prepared. After the Egyptian campaign, Piri Reis returned to Gallipoli, where he continued his scientific work. The reign of Suleiman the Magnificent was a period of great conquests in Ottoman history. Piri Reis joined the Ottoman Navy during the Rhodes campaign of 1523. In 1954, he served as a pilot during the Egyptian campaign, earning the admiration and support of Grand Vizier Pargalı Damat İbrahim Pasha. When Barbaros Hayreddin Pasha became Kaptan-ı Admiral in 1533, Piri Reis received the title of Admiral of the Sea. Following the death of Barbaros Hayreddin Pasha in 1546, Piri Reis became Captain of Egypt. He served for many years in the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea, and the Persian Gulf. In 1552, he captured Muscat, a key Portuguese base, and then Qishm Island, laying siege to the Hormuz Fortress. Hearing that the Portuguese intended to seal off the Persian Gulf, he headed north. He seized control of the Qatar Peninsula and the island of Bahrain, and then crossed into Egypt. The final stop of his second Egyptian campaign in 1552 was Basra. Piri Reis left the fleet in Basra to meet the needs of his ships, carry out repairs and maintenance, and allow the soldiers to rest. He then sailed to Egypt with ships laden with loot. Because leaving the fleet in Egypt was considered a sin, he was imprisoned in Egypt. Due to the actions of the Governor of Basra, Kubat Pasha, and the Governor of Egypt, Mehmet Pasha, A complaint was filed against him with Suleiman the Magnificent, and he was ultimately executed in 1554, at the age of over 80, after being accused of negligence in his service. Piri Reis was among the most prominent maritime scientists of his time. In addition to his native language, he is understood to have spoken Greek, Italian, Spanish, and even Portuguese. He himself wrote that he had consulted works in these languages ​​when preparing his world map. (Original) Asıl adı Ahmed Muhiddin Piri olan Piri Reis'in doğum tarihi hakkında kesin bir bilgi bulunmamakla birlikte 1465 ile 1470 yılları arasında, Türk deniz üssü olarak bilinen Gelibolu’ da doğmuştur. Karamanlı Hacı Ali Mehmed’in oğlu ve ünlü Osmanlı denizcisi Akdeniz Amirali Kemal Reis’in yeğenidir. Muhiddin Piri on bir yaşına kadar Gelibolu’da yaşamıştır. On bir yaşına kadar ailesinin yanında eğitim alan ve okuma yazmayı öğrenen Muhiddin Piri amcası Kemal Reis’in gemilerinde denizcilik mesleğine ilk adımı atar. 1483-1493 yılları arasında amcası ile Akdeniz’de; Sicilya, Sardunya, Korsika ve Fransa kıyılarındaki akınlara katıldılar. 1486 yılında Endülüs’te Müslümanların hakimiyetindeki son şehir Gırnata’da zulme uğrayan Müslümanlar Osmanlı Devletinden yardım isteyince Kemal Reis ve yeğeni Muhiddin Piri İspanya’ya giderek Müslümanları Kuzey Afrika’ya taşıdı. Venedik ele geçirmek için sefer hazırlığı yapan II. Beyazıt'ın Akdeniz'de korsanlık yapan denizcileri donanmaya katılması için çağrı yaptı. Bunun sonucunda 1499-1502 yıllarında Osmanlı Donanması'nın Venedik Donanması'na karşı sağlamaya çalıştığı deniz kontrolü mücadelesinde Osmanlı gemi komutanı görevinde bulunarak ilk kez savaş gemisi kaptanı oldu. Piri Reis Akdeniz'de yaptığı seyirler sırasında gördüğü yerleri ve yaşadığı olayları, Kitab-ı Bahriye adıyla dünya denizciliğinin de ilk kılavuz kitabı olma özelliğini taşıyacak olan kitabının başlangıç bölümünü oluşturdu. Piri Reis, 1511'de amcasının ölümünden sonra, bir süre için açık denizlere açılmadı. Gelibolu'ya yerleşerek burada, önce 1513 tarihli ilk dünya haritasını çizdi. Büyük bir denizci olduğu kadar büyük bir kartograf (haritacı) olan Piri Reis gezip gördüğü yerleri coğrafi haritasını ve tarihi özelliklerini çıkarmıştır. Mısır, Osmanlı topraklarına katılınca 1517’ de İskenderiye’ ye bir filo ile giden Yavuz Sultan Selim ile şahsen tanışma fırsatını bulan Piri Reis, daha önceleri hazırladığı dünya haritasını padişaha hediye etmiştir. Mısır seferinden sonra tekrar Gelibolu’ ya dönen Piri Reis burada bilimsel çalışmalarına devam etmiştir. Osmanlı tarihinde Kanuni Sultan Süleyman dönemi büyük fetihlerin olduğu bir dönemdi. Piri Reis 1523’teki Rodos seferi sırasında Osmanlı Donanmasına katıldı. 1954’de Mısır seyrinde kılavuzluğunu yaptığı sadrazam Pargalı Damat İbrahim Paşa’nın takdiri ve desteğini kazandı. Barbaros Hayrettin Paşa 1533 yılında Kaptan-ı Derya olunca, Piri Reis de Derya Sancak Beyi unvanı aldı. Barbaros Hayrettin Paşa’nın 1546 yılında vefatının ardından Piri Reis Mısır Kaptanlığı yaptı. Umman Denizi, Kızıl Deniz ve Basra Körfezinde görevlerinde uzun yıllar görev yaptı. 1552'de önemli bir Portekiz üssü olan Maskat'ı ve ardından Kişm Adası'nı alarak Hürmüz Kalesi'ni kuşattı. Portekizlilerin Basra Körfezi'ni kapatmak istediklerini duyarak kuzeye yöneldi. Katar Yarımadası'na, Bahreyn Adası'na egemen olarak Mısır'a geçti. 1552 yılında ikinci kez çıktığı Mısır Seferindeki son durak Basra idi. Piri Reis gemilerinin ihtiyaçlarını gidermesi, onarım ve bakımlarının yapılması ve askerlerin dinlenmesi için donanmayı Basra’ da bırakarak ganimet yüklü gemilerle Mısır’ a geldi. Donanmayı Mısır’da bırakması kusur sayıldığı için Mısır’da hapsedildi. Basra Beylerbeyi Kubat Paşa ile Mısır Beylerbeyi Mehmet Paşa’nın tutumları nedeniyle; Kanuni Sultan Süleyman’ a şikâyet edilmiş, sonuçta hizmette kusur ile suçlanarak 80 yaşını aştığı bir dönemde 1554 yılında idam edilmiştir. Piri Reis, denizcilik alanında zamanının en önemli bilim adamları arasında yer almıştır. Ana dili dışında Rumca, İtalyanca, İspanyolca hatta Portekizce bildiği anlaşılıyor. Dünya haritasını hazırlarken, bu dillerdeki eserlerden yararlandığını kendisi yazmıştır.

This little jewel of a museum is so unique that it is bpund to attract you even if you have no interest in vehicles or farming or machinery..With its great collection of tractors dating back to late 1800s till 1962, you will be left speechless with all the colors and great engineering. There are three Porsche tractors as well as one of its kind an Elsingen. If you are in the area to visit Troy and Gallipoli or some wine tasting please make sure you stop by.

I love agricultural machines, especially tractors. I am very eager to visit this beautiful museum. If you have any points about this, please let me know.

it would be way better if there was some alternatives like sitting on some tractors etc but overall it was perfect

It is first antique tractor museum.it is enjoyable to see many old brand tractors.

Amazing collection of traktors, including 19th century pieces

... nothingness XD

(Translated by Google) When I said tractor museum, I thought of a larger area, but it does not have a very large area. You can visit in a short time. My son loved the museum, I think it will especially attract the attention of boys. I remember children are free, adults are 60 TL. The employees are friendly. If you have time while you are in Gallipoli, I recommend you to see it. (Original) Traktör müzesi diyince daha büyük bir alan düşündüm ama çok büyük bir alanı yok. Kısa sürede gezebilirsiniz. Oğlum müzeye bayıldı, özellikle erkek çocukların ilgisini çok çekeceğini düşünüyorum. Çocuklar ücretsiz diye hatırlıyorum, yetişkinler de 60 tl. Çalışanlar güleryüzlü. Gelibolu’ya gitmişken vaktiniz de varsa görmenizi tavsiye ederim.

Gelibolu Balik Restaurant inGelibolu, Turkey. Specialises in sea food. You select your fish and then they take it into the kitchen to fry or grill it. Served with salad and chips. For those who do not care for fish, they have grilled chicken or meatballs with gravy.

They provide rice, vegetables, roast fish, meat, fruits. For vegetarian, you can take salad, roast potato or egg in this restaurant. The taste and services are almost 8 from 10.

The sea bass was fine. The octopus (see picture) a rip off. Very little fish covered with a lot of breading for 200 TL. And the waiter managed to knock over my beer glass without making a decent apology or replacing the content of the spilled beer. Moreover no little add-ons (tiny salad or yoghurt) was offered with the fish. Just stale cheap bread.

Flashback to one of the best restaurants we went during our holiday last year . We went to this restaurant with our two kids for lunch. The seafood was the freshest we had ever tasted. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The salads, the starters were wonderful. For main we had seafood. Those calamaris were fresh , tasty , delicious. We also had fish. I can’t remember the type but we were told they were local. It was to die for. I left the best to last , THE VIEW! The restaurant terrace is literally situated over the sea. Incredible sea view, fresh air, best seafood, excellent service ! What else could you ask for ? I was looking at the photos from that day this evening and I thought they really deserve this review. If you are traveling around Gelibolu ( Gallipoli) , stop at this great restaurant and taste the best seafood. Hoping to get back there one day. Definitely recommend.

Good taste, fast served and delcious fresh seafood, so recomended

We ate the trout fish. It is the best seafood dishes I have in Turkey. The restaurant is just beside the ferry terminal. You will have the best view to see the ferry from the restaurant.

Great place for fresh fish dishes
