Day One:
Sunday 24th April - Istanbul to Gallipoli - Guided Tour of Gallipoli
We will meet at 6:30am at the designated Samyeli Travel meeting
point in the Sultanahmet area (close to where most hotels and
hostels are located). We will board the coach and head towards
Gallipoli stopping to pick up supplies for lunch and the overnight
stay at Gallipoli. You will also have an opportunity to watch a
movie about Gallipoli so you get a feel for the type of people who
fought in this war and to help you picture conditions 96 years ago.
Once we arrive in Gallipoli we will have a fully guided tour, you
will visit the Kabatepe War Museum, Anzac Cove, Hell Spit
Cemetery, Lone Pine, The Nek and the Chunuk Bair War Memorial.
You will then head to Anzac Cove to get a good spot for the
Dawn Service which starts early the following morning.
Overnight: Anzac Cove
Day Two: Monday 25th April - ANZAC Day (Gallipoli to Istanbul)
At first light you will experience the Dawn Service, a truly moving
experience for everyone. You will hear tributes and tales of your
fellow countrymen and join the many thousands who make the
pilgrimage to Gallipoli to remember the fallen. After the Dawn
Service you will make your way to the various sites for the
different commemorations. First is the Australian Service at Lone
Pine and then the New Zealand service at Chunuk Bair. At
the conclusion of the NZ service you will be collected from either
Lone Pine or Chunuk Bair by your guide and coach and will depart to
Eceabat where there will be time for a short break and those who
wish to leave the tour here can do so and head by ferry to Canakkale
on the main land to continue their travels around Turkey. The coach
will then depart for Istanbul arriving in the evening and will drop
you off at the Samyeli Travel Meeting Point.

Important:
Please bring a day pack for carrying things with you overnight
