Alcitepe Village

     In the northeast of Seddulbahir a village was established in the skirts of Alcitepe Peaks and it was completely destroyed because of bombardments during the war period due to the Seddulbahir-Alcitepe line headquarters and Turkish gunners being stationed there in 1915 battes.

     The village was very close to the line of battle where British and French forces made a landing operation and they kept this position until the end of the battles. Hence with the exception of the beginning of the war the village was gradually utilised by the Turkish forces. There are the Alcitepe Garrison Monument, Last Arrow Monument and martyrdom, Zıgındere Nuri Yamut Monument, Gozetleme Tepe Martydom and Monument and Salim Mutlu Museum at Alcıtepe, all 6.5 kilometres away from Seddulbahir around the road and where the road and the sea intersect.

     Alcitepe Village which still keeps its agricultural character has 1640 hectors of agricultural land. Wheat, barley, sunflower, sesame and cotton are it is most important products. They rear goats, sheep and cows and have olive groves. The village owns two olive oil presses and an olive oprocessing center.
