Itinerary
On April 25th, 1915, Allied troops landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The military campaign that followed was disastrous for the Allies yet came to define the national psyches of Australia and New Zealand. Travel to these solemn battlefields on the anniversary of the landing and wander through Anzac Cove to the Nek and Lone Pine. Walk through the trenches, attend a moving dawn service and hear the stories of heroism and camaraderie immortalised in Australia's Anzac history. This journey provides a great opportunity to pay respect to the fallen of World War I and to reflect on what they fought for.
day 1Istanbul to Gallipoli
Hosgeldiniz. Welcome to Turkey! You’ll meet at the Hotel Centrum in Istanbul at 11 am this morning before transferring by private bus to Gallipoli. Midway, in the afternoon, we will stop for lunch (own expense). When you finally arrive on the Gallipoli Peninsula, stop to explore the town of Eceabat and enjoy a barbeque dinner before making your way to the Anzac Commemorative site. Please be ready for long delays upon entry, as all visitors will be security screened. For any Australian or New Zealander visiting the Shores of Turkey, a visit to the battlefields of the Gallipoli Peninsula is a must. The battle at Gallipoli in WW1 is seen as a turning point in both nations (and the Republic of Turkey). The names of ANZAC Cove, the Nek and Lone Pine have a special place in the hearts of Antipodeans and are just some of the places you can visit today. You’ll be struck by the beauty and serenity here, which is in stark contrast to the stories your local guide will tell you of the events that unfolded here. Stay overnight in the ceremonial area near ANZAC Cove, under the stars.
