Your guided daily Gallipoli Tour:

The WW1 battlefields of Gallipoli are situated about 15 km
from Canakkale in Turkey.

Gallipoli Tours depart daily
from 01st April to 31th October.


The daily Gallipoli Tour is as follows:

19:30 4-Corners documentary 'Fatal Shore', gives an overview of the Gallipoli Campaign and contains interviews with veterans from Australia, New Zealand, Britain and Turkey.

21:30 The movie Gallipoli, an Australian production, directed by Peter Weir and starring Mel Gibson, gives an insight into the mentality of those that enlisted in 1915 and gives the viewer an idea of conditions at the time. It culminates in the famous charge by the 10th Australian Light Horse, which took place at The Nek at Gallipoli as a part of the August offensive.

On the following day your Gallipoli Tour departs from Gallipoli - Canakkale and proceeds by ferry across the part of the Dardenelles known as the Narrows. So named because it is the narrowest part of the Dardenelles (Gallipoli peninsula), less then one kilometre across.

The ferry pulls in at the small fishing village of Kilitbahir, which means lock of the sea. Kilitbahir is known for its fort built in 1453 by Mehmet II the Conqueror, as a part of his successful siege of Constantinople naval battle, that took place in the Dardenelles prior to the army landings. The Gallipoli Tour meets an air-conditioned tour bus and proceeds to the Gallipoli battlefield area and visits:

• ANZAC Kabatepe War Museum which contains relics from the Gallipoli Campaign including original diary extracts and letters.
• Brighton beach, the intended landing place, lunch and swimming (weather permitting!).
• Beach cemetery on the southern tip of ANZAC Cove, the landing place of the first wave of Australian and New Zealand troops at Gallipoli and home to up to 30.000 troops during the Gallipoli Campaign. John Simpson Kirkpatrick of "Simpson and his donkey" fame is buried in this cemetery.
• Ari Burnu cemetery on the northern tip of ANZAC Cove, where the Dawn Service is held each ANZAC Day at Gallipoli.
• Lone Pine Australian Memorial, site of the successful attack and capture of Turkish trenches by the Australians during the August offensive at Gallipoli.
• Johnston's Jolly where you'll visit original Allied and Turkish trenches and tunnels.
• The Nek site of the famous Light Horse charge depicted in the Gallipoli movie.
• Chunuk Bair New Zealand Memorial, captured by the New Zealanders during the August offensive, highest point captured during the entire Gallipoli Campaign.

The duration of the Gallipoli Tour is a approximately 6 hours, but is flexible and depends on the weather, whether or not swimming takes place and the size of the group. The Gallipoli Tour returns to Canakkale, but those wishing to continue onto Istanbul, Kusadasi or Selcuk immediately after the Gallipoli tour, can arrange this through the guide.
