2 Day Tour

Day 1 Istanbul, Gallipoli.

Listen up while we are on the bus, for a fast and informal meeting with the leader including registration and a short brief about the adventures ahead and some country info. After the welcome we go into the coach and then head to the shores of Gallipoli. Tonight we get set up to ensure the best position is kept for the Dawn Service and sleep under the stars overnight in the ceremony area. IMPORTANT : Please get ready in front of Hagia Sophia Museum at 07:00 am on 24 April 2012. Click for the arrival details

Day 2 Dawn Service, Ceremonies, Istanbul.

We wake before the break of dawn and watch as the sun rises over the battle field, we remember the soldiers who lost their lives on this exact day all those years ago. We also attend the National ceremonies and services later in the day. After we have remembered and honored the great warriors. We go to our coach and travel back to Istanbul, lest we forget. As we arrive into Istanbul in the evening, keep a look out for the stunning light show that is on every night! The oldest and best buildings are lit up over the Bosphorus, and the two bridges joining Asia to Europe are spectacular. Our trip will end tonight as we say goodbye to our new friends and bid you safe travels.

IMPORTANT NOTE: As the tour bus departs Istanbul at 7.00AM please book flights accordingly.
