The 10 Best Monuments & Statues in Turkey, Turkey
Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye [ˈtyɾcije]), officially the Republic of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Cumhuriyeti [ˈtyɾcije d͡ʒumˈhuɾijeti] ( listen)), is a transcontinental country in Eurasia, mainly in Anatolia in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries with Greece and Bulgaria to the northwest; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, the Azerbaijan and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the south. The country is encircled by seas on three sides with the Aegean Sea to the west, the Black Sea to the north, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles, which together form the Turkish Straits, divide Thrace and Anatolia and separate Europe and Asia. Ankara is the capital while Istanbul is the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre, classified as a leading global city.

1. Gallipoli National Park
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 234 reviews
Gallipoli was the site of a major battle in World War I and this peninsula, part of the Dardanelles, is still remembered as a major defeat for the Allied Forces—and a springboard for the future Turkish leader Mustafa Kemal. The beautiful, quiet park is dotted with memorials and other features; it is the site of a big annual memorial for the thousands of Australian and New Zealand forces who died here.

This was a very moving place. It is an extremely beautiful peninsula and yet so much suffering took place there once upon a time. It is a beautiful memorial to the Ottoman and Australian soldiers that fought here and died. It is now a peaceful and beautiful memorial.

A moving and fitting tribute to soldiers who defended their homeland. I stopped here as part of a tour of the Helles beaches, after having visited Anzac the day before, which helped put it into context. The monument serves to venerate the Ottoman soldiers who died during the Gallipoli (or Cannakale) campaign. Without diminishing those on the other side. Well worth a visit to contemplate there is not just an English, French or Anzac story to tell here, rather the Turkish have their own vision of what occurred here in World War I.

A fabulous day out in the surrounding mountains of Marmaris! The views are stunning, and then you can drop down to the coast line with beautiful scenery . Highly recommend taking a trip out of Marmaris, our guide Seppo Kanerva was excellent.
