The Dardanelles

The Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey is a fascinating place. Very dry landscape in the northern part and more green in the south. Few asphalted roads, traditional agriculture, pasture lands and some nice wetlands where several birds are allowed to live and migrate. The Eastern Imperial Eagle often go aroung hunting European Sousliks while from the beach it's easy to catch the sight of dolphins and, if you are lucky, also the Mediterranean Monk Seal.
A piece of Mediterranean not yet compromise. Hope it will resist.
