Day 1: From Istanbul to Gallipoli – Where History and Heart Collide
The drive along the Sea of Marmara sets a thoughtful tone as you head toward the Gallipoli Peninsula — a name that resonates far beyond Turkey. For Australians and New Zealanders, this land is sacred. For Turks, it’s where the legend of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk began.
As you walk the solemn sands of Anzac Cove, peer into preserved trenches at Johnston’s Jolly, and stand at Chunuk Bair, the brutality and bravery of World War I hit home. Each cemetery and memorial — from Lone Pine to The Nek — honors lives lost, but also peace gained.
This isn’t about glorifying war. It’s about understanding its cost.
“Those heroes that shed their blood... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country.”
– Atatürk’s words, still engraved at Gallipoli, remind us of shared humanity.
Day 2: Troy – Standing Where Legends Were Born
The following morning, the mood shifts — from history to mythology.
You’ll travel even further back in time, to a place once thought to be pure fiction: Troy. Immortalized in Homer’s Iliad, Troy is the birthplace of epic tales of love, pride, and war. And yet, as you wander its layered ruins, it becomes very real.
Nine cities lie beneath your feet — each built atop the last — dating back to 3000 BC. You’ll see ancient walls, ceremonial altars, and a giant replica of the Trojan Horse. It’s more than a photo op. It’s a symbol of storytelling that has endured for over 3,000 years.
What’s unique about Troy is that it's not a perfectly restored ruin. It forces you to imagine — to fill in the blanks with your own wonder.
Back in Çanakkale, your evening is free to soak in the local culture. The city sits right on the Dardanelles and offers a lively waterfront, relaxed cafés, and vibrant university life.
Day 3: The Depths of Gallipoli – A Wider Lens
Your final day returns you to Gallipoli — but this time, you go deeper.
Most tours only visit the ANZAC sector, but this journey takes you beyond. You’ll explore the Helles and Suvla Bay sectors, visiting often-overlooked memorials like V Beach, Pink Farm Cemetery, Scimitar Hill, and Hill 60 — sites that reveal the scale and complexity of the campaign.
It’s not about ticking off places. It’s about understanding them.
This deeper dive gives space for quiet reflection — something rushed day-trippers rarely find. The final stretch of your return to Istanbul is the perfect time to process it all.
Why This Tour Is More Than Just a Trip
