Duration: 2 Days
Price: £89.00 per person
Day One: Friday 24th April - Istanbul to Gallipoli - Guided Tour of Gallipoli
We will meet at 6:30am at the designated Sammy's 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 94 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: Saturday 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 Sammys Travel Meeting Point.
Please note: Accommodation is not provided.
Important: Please bring a day pack for carrying things with you overnight at Anzac Cove and the next day in Gallipoli as once you put your main luggage on the coach on the morning of the 24th in Istanbul you will not have chance to access it again until arriving in either Eceabat or Istanbul on the afternoon/evening of the 25th. Your main luggage will be securely locked away in the coach overnight. Please also note that the weather in Anzac Cove overnight can get very cold so we suggest you bring sleeping bags, blankets and warm clothing for this stay and even a wet weather jacket in the event that it rains.

SAMYELI TRAVEL
About Samyeli Travel:
SAMYELI Travel ANZAC Day Tour.
SAMYELI Travel have 11 different Anzac Day Tours and all tours are ....Includes all entrance fees, and many meals. The difference with our tours is that we do not camp or stay in hostels and we stay at 3 & 4 star hotels, which includes a rest day on 24/04 at a 4 star thermal resort south of Canakkale as we prepare for the evening journey back to ANZAC COVE to get a good viewing spot for the dawn service. We also tour the Battlefields on 23/04 as opposed to 24/04, the reason being that it is a lot less crowded and we are ensured all sites and memorials will be open and accessible by our tour groups on this day.
We understand the importance of this day and we carefully select our guides based on 3 factors:
1, knowledge of the Gallipoli campaign
2, knowledge of Turkey
3, grasp on the English language
We have a very friendly and competent team that will make every effort to consider your ANZAC Tours individual wishes and so make your visit to Turkey a memorable one. We will be very pleased if you would consider utilizinig our services for your future ANZAC tours of Turkey.
