Join us on a deeply moving full-day tour from Istanbul to the historic battlefields of Gallipoli, where the ANZAC troops made their courageous stand during World War I.
This day trip offers a compelling insight into the events that unfolded on the Gallipoli Peninsula, with a focus on the bravery and sacrifice of Australian and New Zealand soldiers.
Your journey begins with a convenient early morning pickup from your hotel in the Taksim or Sultanahmet areas. From there, you'll embark on a scenic 5-hour drive to Eceabat, traveling in a comfortable, air-conditioned minibus. Along the way, we'll make a stop for breakfast and refreshments (breakfast not included), allowing you to relax and prepare for the day ahead.
Upon arriving at the Gallipoli Peninsula, we'll pause for a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, where you'll get the chance to sample Turkish cuisine and discuss the historic sites you are about to explore.
After lunch, the tour will focus on the ANZAC sector of the battlefields, guiding you through the key locations where the ANZAC campaign unfolded. You will visit 11 significant points of interest, starting with ANZAC Cove, where Australian and New Zealand forces first landed in April 1915. It was here that the troops faced their first harrowing battles as they set up base along the rugged coastline. Your expert guide will provide historical context, sharing stories of the soldiers’ struggles and bravery in the face of overwhelming odds.
Next, we’ll head to Beach Cemetery, where many of the fallen soldiers from the Gallipoli Campaign are laid to rest. This solemn site serves as a powerful reminder of the cost of war. You'll also visit the Lone Pine Memorial, a major site of remembrance, dedicated to the Australian soldiers who fought and died during the campaign. This memorial is one of five on the peninsula that commemorate soldiers of the former British Empire whose graves are unknown. The tour will also take you to the battlefields of The Nek and Chunuk Bair, two key areas of intense fighting where thousands of lives were lost. As you stand on these historic grounds, your guide will bring the history to life, describing the tactics, conditions, and heroism of the soldiers who fought there. The stories of sacrifice, perseverance, and resilience are palpable, and you'll gain a deeper understanding of the tragic events that shaped the course of the Gallipoli Campaign.
After a day filled with historical exploration, reflection, and learning, you’ll return to your comfortable minibus for the drive back to Istanbul. As we journey back to the city, take time to reflect on the powerful experiences of the day, which have offered a glimpse into one of the most significant battles of the First World War.
The tour concludes with a convenient drop-off at your hotel in Istanbul, where your day of remembrance and discovery comes to an end. This tour is a must for history enthusiasts, those with a connection to ANZAC heritage, and anyone wishing to honor the bravery of those who fought in Gallipoli.
