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

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.
