The cliff the ANZAC boys had to scale when first jumping out of the boat- while being hammered by the Turks. The cliff is about 60m high and would have been a lot steeper before the road was cut into it.

Troy.

DAY 56: Arrived in Canakkale were i visited both anzac cove and the ancient site of troy. Every aussie must go to gallipoli once in their life, great experience and it enables you to fully understand and appreciate the sacrifice the ANZAC's made back in world war 1.

Quality markets. best place to buy a carpet(apart from having to ship it home)
