July is peak summer. The skies are reliably clear and the sea is inviting, but the heat on the exposed ridgelines can be intense by midday.
With smart timing, July is still a rewarding month to walk the battlefields.
Coping with summer heat
Highs reach 30-33C. Start early, carry water, wear a hat and use sunscreen, especially around the open ground at Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair.
Summer crowds and timing
Turkish and international holidaymakers are out in force. Booking ahead and choosing a morning departure makes for a smoother visit.
