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 95 years ago.

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

will be time for a short break and those who wish to leave the tour

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.
