The Gallipoli peninsula (/ɡəˈlɪpəli, ɡæ-/;Turkish: Gelibolu Yarımadası; Greek: Καλλίπολη) is located in Turkish Thrace (or East Thrace), the European part of Turkey, with the Aegean Sea to the west and the Dardanelles strait to the east.
Gallipoli derives its name from the Greek "Καλλίπολις" (Kallipolis), meaning "Beautiful City". In antiquity, it was known as the Thracian Chersonese, from Greek: Θρακική Χερσόνησος (Latin: Chersonesus Thracica).
The peninsula runs in a south-westerly direction into the Aegean Sea, between the Hellespont (now known as the Dardanelles) and the bay of Melas (today Saros bay). Near Agora it was protected by a wall running across its full breadth. The isthmus traversed by the wall was only 36 stadia in breadth (about 6.5 km), but the length of the peninsula from this wall to its southern extremity, Cape Mastusia, was 420 stadia (about 77.5 km).
In ancient times, the Gallipoli Peninsula was known as the Thracian Chersonesus (from Greek χερσόνησος, "peninsula") to the Greeks and later the Romans. It was the location of several prominent towns, including Cardia, Pactya, Callipolis (Gallipoli), Alopeconnesus,Sestos, Madytos, and Elaeus. The peninsula was renowned for its wheat. It also benefited from its strategic importance on the main route between Europe and Asia, as well as from its control of the shipping route from Crimea. The city of Sestos was the main crossing-point on the Hellespont (Dardanelles).
Touring the Gallipoli Peninsula, Turkey http://davidsbeenhere.com In this episode, David takes us around the main sights of Gallipoli, Turkey - a peninsula in the Dardanelles Strait that has long been known for its strategic position on the main route between Europe and Asia. In other words, whoever or whatever wanted to pass through the Marmara Sea into Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) would first have to cross the Dardanelles Strait. Thus, Gallipoli has always been at the center of military action throughout the centuries. On April 25th, 1915, the British tried to capture Constantinople by launching an attack on Gallipoli. This is known as the Gallipoli Campaign. Today, visiting Gallipoli reveals just how important the peninsula was for Allied forces to possess in WWI. Touring the...
