Touring

A couple of notable moments:

Day 6 – Rhodes to Istanbul – up the Dardanelles

The Canakkale 1915 Koprusu Bridge – Opened in 2023, this is the longest Suspension Bridge in the World at 2,023m long. It celebrates 100 years of the modern Turkish state and an Ottoman naval victory in WW1. The Gallipoli Peninsular on the right in these pictures from the back of the ship. Anzac Cove is on the other side of the Peninsular.

Day 9 – Istanbul to Mykonos – down the Dardanelles

Got up just in time to see the two WW1 memorials at the entrance into the Dardanelles:

The Helles Memorial

The Turkish Memorial
