Its story
Anzac Cove is a narrow strip of shore about 600 meters long between Arıburnu to the north and a small headland to the south. On April 25, 1915, troops of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) landed here, and the cove was their main base for eight months. In 1985 Türkiye officially adopted the name Anzac Cove (Anzak Koyu). The memorial at Arıburnu bears words of peace attributed to Atatürk, honoring all the soldiers as brothers in the same soil. Every year at dawn on April 25, a Dawn Service is held at the nearby cemeteries and the Arıburnu Commemorative Site.
