Gallipoli Battlefields & Anzacs Memorials (Daily Tour from İstanbul)

Take a trip into the past on a full-day tour of Gallipoli from Istanbul, traveling by air-conditioned minibus to the battlefields and war memorials of the ANZAC campaign of the Battle of Gallipoli during World War I.

Early morning depart around 06:30-07:00 , stop en route for refreshments. Upon arrival on the Gallipoli Peninsula, you will visit on the ANZAC sector of the infamous battlefields and ANZAC Cove where the troops first landed and set up base.

Go to Beach Cemetery, where many of the soldiers who died during the Battle of Gallipoli were buried. Pause to reflect at the Lone Pine Memorial, one of 5 memorials on the peninsula that commemorate servicemen of the former British Empire killed in the campaign but who have no known grave. Visit the battlefields of The Nek and Chunuk Bair, where experienced guides will paint a picture that brings the war to life.

Evening return to Istanbul by minibus for a hotel drop off and the end of the tour services.
