About Anzak Koyu
Anzac Cove is on the western coast of the Gallipoli peninsula, on the European side of the Dardanelles. The cove is associated with the landing of Australian and New Zealand forces in the 1915 campaign. It is a place of memory, and understanding it requires observing the terrain between the beach and the slopes.
The landscape helps explain the short distances and steep ground of the campaign, without turning the visit into a spectacle. Memorials and cemeteries in the region are part of a wider circuit, with travel between sites and time to read the inscriptions.
Use Eceabat as your access reference and arrange the outing with private transport or a tour that specifies stops. The site should not be presented as a bathing beach. Maintain a respectful attitude and check access on ceremonial dates, when the visit organization may change.
