After an overnight stay in Canakkale, continue to ancient Troy, famed for its legendary wooden horse and layers of archaeological intrigue. Blending powerful wartime heritage with classical myth, this short journey offers a compelling glimpse into Turkey’s past before returning to Istanbul.

Istanbul - Gallipoli - Canakkale. Arrive in Istanbul the day prior to the start of the tour, and you will be picked up from your hotel in the Old Town vicinity between 06:30 am and 7 am. We then depart for Gallipoli, the site of the 1915 campaign that became a defining moment in the history of Turkey, Australia and New Zealand.
We visit Anzac Cove, where the Allied troops first landed, before continuing to Lone Pine Cemetery, the scene of one of the fiercest battles of the campaign. At Johnston’s Jolly, we see preserved Turkish and Allied trenches and tunnels, offering a sobering insight into the realities faced by soldiers on both sides. We also stop at The Nek, site of the ill-fated charge by Australian troops, and at Chunuk Bair, home to the New Zealand Memorial with sweeping views across the peninsula.
We arrive in Canakkale at approximately 6:30 pm, where you can relax this evening after a reflective and historically significant day.
