The Gallipoli Houses, Kocadere, Gallipoli Peninsula

Charming Rural Self-Catering. Doubles from £40 B&B

This delightful Gallipoli hideaway is newly built but in traditional stone so that it blends seamlessly with the farmsteads, barns and outbuildings of its remote village setting at Kocadere. Surrounded by meadows and orchards, it’s a place of birdsong and flowers, and long views to the red and white Turkish flags flying over the high ridges so ferociously contested in 1915.  From here it’s a 45-minute walk via country lanes to Lone Pine and thence to Chunuk Bair.  

The cultured and knowledgeable owners, Belgian Eric and Turkish Özlem, have created ten spacious rooms with whitewashed walls, exposed timbers, tiled floors with kilim throws, sitting corners and seriously generous walk-in showers.  They lately decided to convert the hotel into self-catering, adding kitchen facilities.  For the independently minded, happy to prepare their own food, this is the place to stay on Gallipoli Peninsula.
