Full description
  • If you're fascinated by modern history and want to explore a significant World War I site, our Gallipoli Day Tour from Istanbul is perfect for you. Gallipoli is not only a place of historical importance but also a location where thousands of soldiers lost their lives during one of the most intense battles of World War I.

    Start your day early with a comfortable hotel pick-up from your Istanbul accommodation. Your professional guide will welcome you aboard the bus, and the journey to Çanakkale will begin. During the drive, there will be short stops and a lunch break at the town of Eceabat, where you'll enjoy a delicious local meal before continuing to Gallipoli.

    Your tour will begin at Brighton Beach, a peaceful area where Allied troops once sought respite. The Brighton Beach Cemetery nearby is the final resting place for over 300 soldiers from Australia, New Zealand, and Britain. Your guide will share their moving stories, bringing to life the heroism and loss that marked this area during World War I.

    Next, you will head to ANZAC Cove, where the Allied forces first landed in 1915. The picturesque natural surroundings of the cove make it an evocative location, and you’ll have the opportunity to take photos and reflect on its importance. From here, visit Ari Burnu, a critical battle site, and Lone Pine, a memorial commemorating the fallen soldiers.

    Your tour also includes visits to other significant sites, such as Shrapnel Valley, the Nek, and Chunuk Bair, where the ANZAC forces launched a devastating attack. Each of these sites carries deep emotional and historical significance, and your expert guide will provide fascinating insights into the fierce battles and sacrifices that occurred here.

    At the end of the day, you’ll board the bus for the return journey to Istanbul, where you'll be dropped off at your hotel, filled with new knowledge, images, and a profound understanding of the Gallipoli Campaign's impact on both the local and global stage.
