Step into history on a guided journey through the Gallipoli battlefields, departing from Canakkale, Turkey. Your experience begins at the Tourist Information Center, where you’ll meet your escort before crossing the Dardanelles Strait by ferry to Eceabat, once known as ancient Madytos.
Upon arrival in Eceabat, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, offering a taste of Turkish hospitality. Afterward, board a comfortable, air-conditioned coach and set out for the Gallipoli Peninsula, where the echoes of World War I still resonate along the Aegean coast.
Explore the iconic ANZAC Cove, the landing site of Australian and New Zealand troops in 1915. From the beaches, follow the route up to Second Ridge, where the front lines were drawn and the fate of thousands was decided. Walk among the preserved trenches and visit moving memorials and cemeteries.
Pause at Lone Pine, honoring the Australian soldiers with no known grave, and at Johnston’s Jolly Cemetery, where you can see original trenches. The journey culminates at Chunuk Bair, the site of the New Zealand National Memorial and one of the campaign’s most significant battlefields.
After a day immersed in history, your coach returns you to Eceabat, where you’ll take the ferry back to Canakkale. Secure your spot on this unforgettable exploration of Gallipoli’s legacy—check availability and book your tour today.
