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 Sammys Travel Meeting Point.
