Allies land in another place than Gallipoli

Could the allies have landed at another place than Gallipoli to knock OE out of the war?

Land somewere in Greece and march over land to Istanbul?
 
In similar threads in the past Iskenderun/Alexandretta has been mooted.

If a task force could land and even just hold a pocket, then that would massively disrupt the Ottomans in Palestine/Syria and make it perhaps easier for the British to march up through coastal Palestine to link up. I would imagine the Entente would be aiming to at least sever the Baghdad railway, which runs a bit to the north.
 
Why didn't they land up around Kavakköy? They could have quickly cut the forts off by land and would have a had a lot more space to deploy in, rather than the constraints of the Gallipol peninsula.

Wasn't Gallipoli chosen, in part, to help keep Russia in the war by resupplying them? Landing in Syria wouldn't help achieve this unless you fought through Anatolia to reach the Turkish Straits.
