Morning light spills across the Marmara as a minivan peels away from Istanbul's hotels, and the road narrows toward the low ridges of the Gallipoli Peninsula. By the time you glimpse the Aegean blue, the landscape has already begun to speak — windswept scrub, chalky bluffs and ribbons of beach where troops once came ashore.
