Traverse the peaceful and picturesque Gallipoli Peninsula, a historic landscape that was a significant battleground back in World War I. A long drive to the wonderful town of Eceabat where you energize by feasting on a delicious meal at a local restaurant. After a satisfying lunch, you will begin the tour around the peninsula, accompanied by a knowledgeable, English-speaking guide who will captivate you with his stories and commentary on the various sites you will visit. Since the Gallipoli Peninsula was a battleground during the war, a lot of soldiers, a good number of them Australian and Kiwi, perished there, so there is a poignant atmosphere that pervades all throughout the landscape. You can even pay your tributes to the fallen soldiers by the memorial sites found in Brighton Beach, ANZAC Cove, the Nek Ridge, and Chunuk Bair. You will even visit the famous Johnston's Jolly, a battlesite with trenches where many Turkish and Allied soldiers took cover.

Outstanding! So much history and so much knowledge - our guide burak (I think was his name) was a subject matter expert. It was very thrilling to learn the Turkish side of the story of Gallipoli having known the Aussie side. From the battering waves at Anzac cove to the trenches and war graves. This tour is a must if you want to learn about the history of the Anzacs.
