Itinerary
Arrival & Transfer to Çanakkale — Orientation at the Dardanelles
Arrive at Istanbul Airport and meet your tour representative. Travel by private coach through scenic Marmara region to the Dardanelles and Çanakkale. Check in and enjoy an introductory briefing about the tour’s historical context. Finish the day with a gentle orientation walk by the Dardanelles and a sunset view over ANZAC Cove.
Note: Depending on international arrival time, transfer may be by early evening coach or a short domestic flight (optional supplement).
Gallipoli Battlefields — Full Day Commemorative Tour
A full day guided exploration of the Gallipoli Peninsula with an expert historian. Visit key sites including ANZAC Cove, Lone Pine Cemetery & Memorial, Chunuk Bair, Monash Monument, and the poignant beaches and trenches that preserve wartime memories. Attend a respectful moment of reflection and visit the local Gallipoli Museum to view artifacts and personal stories.
Important: This day includes uneven paths and steps; bring water, sun protection, and comfortable footwear.
Exploring Troy — Archaeology & Myth
After breakfast, travel to the ancient site of Troy.
