The Commonwealth War Graves commision maintains over 30 cemetries and memorials on the gallipoli Peninsula. The cemeteries contain 22.000 graves, 9.000 identified and 13.000 unidentified. There are 7.247 Australian soldier's graves on Galipoli ( nearly 1.000 Australians also died on hospital ships or in hospitals in Malta, Egypt and Lemnos.

Most visitors chose to approach the Gallipoli battlefields from the town of Canakkale on the Dardanelles. Canakkale has numerous hotels and tourist facilities and makes a convenient base for visiting the battlefields and other nearby sites.

The remains of many of the Turkish gun emplacements, bunkers and earthwork ramparts can be visited near Canakkale and Kilitbahir, as well as the imposing fortresses on each side of the Narrows. Canakkale also has a naval museum devoted to the campaign and a military museum housed in the adjacent Fort Cimenlik. On the waterfront between the two museums is a Turkish icon of the naval assault-a replica of the minelayer Nusrat, responsible for laying a crucial row of mines which accounted for most of the Allied warships sunk on 18 March 1915. The defeat of the Allied fleet on 18 March is celebrated each year as a Turkish 'victory day' in Canalkale and the date is displayed in a memorial on a hillside overlooking the town.
