There is no other way to fully experience and understand the isolation, fear and sacrifice that our loved ones went through than by visiting all the sights in Gallipoli. We guarantee that we will leave no stone unturned to ensure you will have a truly memorable ANZAC trip.

3 Day Tour

Day 1 Istanbul, Gallipoli.

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.

Day 2 Dawn Service, Ceremonies.

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 get 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.

Day 3 Gallipoli, Istanbul.

Our trip will end after we say goodbye to our new friends over breakfast, bid you safe travels and check-out of the hotel in Turkey. Today you can shop for keepsakes in the old town, visit the splendid Ottoman palaces or discover its many evocative mosques.
