The British and its dominion forces suffered 43,000 killed, of which 7,500 were Australians and 2,500 New Zealanders. The French in their sector lost 8,000 dead. The Gallipoli battlefields can be viewed by approaching the Peninsula either by land or from the sea. The central point ion the region is the city of Canakkale on the Asian side of the Dardenelles, which is crossed by ferry to the east shore. Here the tourist either heads south to Cape Helles, east to Anzac or north-east to Suvla.
Roads are good and the signage clearly identifies the places to visit.
Alternatively directly from Istanbul the best and fastest route is along the excellent road passing through Tekirdag on the European side of the Sea of Marmara and taking 4 easy hours driving. Australians all head towards Anzac. By contrast, the remnants of the battlefields at Cape Helles are difficult to follow as the local population has understandably turned the old battlefield back into use for their original agricultural heritage. Anzac, however, is part of the 33,000 hectares Gallipoli Historical National Park. This park is composed of protected land on which habitation is prohibited and extensive public works has been done to facilitate tourism.
