TRAVEL ADVICE AND INFORMATION
|
|
Visitors to the Gallipoli Peninsula should respect the sacred nature
ot the burial sites, official war graves and memorials. Some Anzac Day
ceremonies are held in cemeteries, and care should be taken not to damage,
stand on or otherwise disturb grave sites, headstones and gardens. You
are not required to remove your shoes on entering a Turkish Muslim cemetery,
but in other respects, treat these cemeteries as you would a mosque. At
all times remember that you are a guest in another country, and respect
local customs and courtesies. |

| IMPORTANT WARNNG: Relics from the Gallipoli campaign (from waterbottles, mess tins, and shrapnel to human remains) are still scattered over the former battlefields of Anzac, Cape Helles and Suvla Bay. The Gallipoli National Park, the Turkish Government authorities and other local officials forbid the removal of any objeen from these sites. Visitors removing objects in the past have been charged with criminal acts. |
