ANZAC Day - Trooper Tour

Meeting Point for this tour is The Halich Hotel between 8:00am and 8:15am. Please ensure you arrive on time. From there, we depart for the WW1 battlefields of Gallipoli, making a short stop along the way to stock up on supplies and rations.
On 24 April, the programme depends on official restrictions, as tours may be cancelled at the last minute if high-ranking dignitaries such as the Prime Minister or Ministers are in attendance. If tours are permitted, we plan to depart from Istanbul early in the morning for a short complimentary Gallipoli tour, after which we will take the ferry across to Çanakkale to check in at our hotel and enjoy some rest. Around midnight, we will depart the hotel, cross back by ferry, and continue to Anzac Cove, arriving at approximately 1:00am to secure a place for the overnight stay in preparation for the Dawn Service. If tours are not allowed, we will instead proceed directly to the hotel to rest until we depart for Gallipoli in the evening to ensure a good position at Anzac Cove for the long night ahead.

Awake before sun rise for the ANZAC Day Dawn Service. We become aware of the almost deafening silence as the moving service to commemorate our fallen forefathers on this special day begins. You will then have the chance to attend the Australian or New Zealand Memorial service before a late afternoon drive back to Istanbul. Upon arrival at the Fez Travel office your tour concludes and sadly it is time to say goodbye to new friends.
