Moudros Bay

Μούδρος

One of the largest natural harbors in the Aegean. It was an Allied base during the Gallipoli campaign of World War I, and the Armistice of Mudros was signed here in 1918.

Moudros Bay is one of the largest natural harbors in the Aegean. During the Gallipoli campaign of 1915, it served as a base for Allied fleets and field hospitals. In 1918, the Ottoman Empire signed the Armistice of Mudros aboard a British warship in the bay. The small town has a white Evangelical church, seafood restaurants by the harbor, and an Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) memorial. You can visit it together with the nearby Allied cemeteries, which makes it a good stop for anyone interested in the history of World War I.
