Gallipoli & Troy

Day 1 is a full battlefield tour of the Gallipoli Peninsula: Anzac Cove and Ari Burnu, Lone Pine Cemetery, the trenches of Johnston's Jolly, the Turkish 57th Regiment Memorial and Chunuk Bair, guided by a licensed guide. We can weight the day toward a particular nation's sites — Australian, New Zealand, British, French or Turkish — on request.
