Ancient World.BodrumCastle, built by the Crusaders in the 15th century,

Gallipoli, also known as the Dardanelles took place at the peninsula
of Gallipoli
in the Ottoman Empire between 25 April 1915
and 9 January 1916, during the First World War. A joint British and French
operation was mounted to capture the Ottoman capital of Constantinople and
secure a sea route to Russia.
The attempt failed, with heavy casualties on both sides. The Gallipoli campaign resonated
profoundly among all nations involved. In Turkey, the
battle is perceived as a defining moment in the history of the Turkish people—a
final surge in the defence of the motherland as the aging Ottoman
Empire was crumbling. The struggle laid the grounds for the
Turkish War of Independence and the foundation of the Republic of Turkey
eight years later under Mustafa Kemal (Atatürk),
himself a commander at Gallipoli. The campaign was the first major battle undertaken by the Australian and
New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), and is often considered to mark the birth of
national consciousness in both of these countries. Anzac Day, 25 April, remains
the most significant commemoration of military casualties and veterans in Australia and New Zealand, surpassing Armistic
Day/Remembrance Day.
Artvin is an attractive area of steep valleys carved by the ÇoruhRiver system, surrounded by high mountains of Kaçkar, KarcalandYalnızçam and forest with much national parkland including the Karagöl-Sahara, which contains the Savsatand Borcka lakes. The weather in Artvin is very wet and mild at the coast, and as a result is heavily forested. This greenery runs from the top all the way down to the Black Sea coast. The rain turns to snow at higher altitudes, and the peaks are very cold in winter. The forests are home to brown bears and wolves. Local industries include bee-keeping especially in Macahel region. The area has a rich history but has not been studied extensively by archaeologists in recent decades. The city of Artvin has an ancient castle and a number of Ottoman period houses, mosques, and fountains. The Kackar Mountains are among the most-popular venues for trekking holidays in Turkey.
