Welcome to Turkey and the beginning of
your Anzac tour!
Once you have checked into your hotel (Please note check in times
vary between hotels but are normally no earlier than noon) you have
the rest of the day free to explore Istanbul and you will meet your
guide later that evening who will give you information about the
tour and answer any questions you might have.

April then your tour includes an airport transfer to your hotel and
you will be met at the airport by the Samyeli Travel team. Paid
airport transfers from Sabiha Gokcen Airport in Istanbul on the 23rd

- Visiting Hagia (St.) Sophia
- Visiting the Blue Mosque & Hippodrome
After the city tour you will have a lunch break before departing for
Gallipoli and on the way your guide will give you some information
about the Gallipoli region and the battles that took place so when
you visit the various sites on Anzac Day you will understand their
importance. You will also have an opportunity to watch a documentary
or movie about the Gallipoli campaign so you get a feel for the type
of people who fought in this war and to help you picture conditions
97 years ago. Upon arriving near Gallipoli there will be time for a
dinner break before we make our way to Anzac Cove for the
overnight stay at the cove.
Overnight: Anzac Cove

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
back in Istanbul on the 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.
Day Three: Wednesday 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.
After the New Zealand service we will board the bus (either at Lone
Pine or Chunuk Bair) and head to Eceabat where we will have a short
break for something to eat and refreshments. After this short break
we will continue to Istanbul arriving in the late evening.
