Gallipoli

A visit to Gallipoli is a deeply moving experience, a journey into the past that leaves an indelible mark on the soul. Walking along the battle-scarred beaches and through the silent cemeteries, it’s impossible not to feel the weight of the sacrifice made by so many. Here, history speaks of courage, resilience, and the profound cost of war, as countless lives were given in pursuit of a cause greater than themselves. It’s a place of reflection, where the beauty of the landscape contrasts starkly with the somber reality of what transpired, reminding us of the human spirit’s capacity for both endurance and sacrifice. After Gallipoli, I boarded the ferry, the gentle waves carrying me across the Dardanelles toward the legendary city of Troy, where myths and history intertwine.
