Wanderlust World Wanderlust World Gallipoli (Gelibolu) is a narrow peninsula in Turkey, forming the European side of the Dardanelles Strait. Its strategic position made it the site of the 1915–16 Gallipoli Campaign (WWI), where Allied forces (ANZAC, British, French) attempted to seize the strait. The campaign failed; the peninsula remains a hallowed memorial landscape with cemeteries and monuments visited by thousands annually, especially on Anzac Day (25 April).
