Canakkale, Turkey


 
If you're not an Aussie or Kiwi, ANZAC prolly doesn't mean much to you. But to the rest of us, it represents the thousands of Australians and New Zealanders who died in a fruitless battle for the Dardanelles, ordered by the British, without any proper planning.

The thing that strikes most people about this part of the war is that it is often referred to as the last instance of a "gentlemen's war". Okay, so war isn't about being friendly, but there are countless examples of bravery, and mutual respect between the Turks and the ANZACs who were entrenched a mere 8m from each other for many months.

Troy is also a fascinating place, although not quite as touching. The site itself boasts 9 separate eras of the city, the sixth being approximated as the one made famous by the Iliad.
