Welcome to Turkey! Our journey begins at 11am from the Hotel Centrum in Istanbul (or similar). We'll travel by private bus to the historical Gallipoli Peninsula, with a midway comfort stop. Upon arrival, we'll explore the town of Eceabat and enjoy a BBQ dinner. We then proceed to the Anzac Commemorative site, a significant location for Australians and New Zealanders. Here, amidst the serene beauty, we'll learn about the WW1 battles that shaped the nations. We'll spend the night in the ceremonial area near ANZAC Cove. Please note, it can get quite cold, so a sleeping bag is recommended.
