Make your way to your chosen airport for your flight to Istanbul airport. Then transfer to your overnight hotel, in the Istanbul area.

Early departure for the four-hour journey to Gallipoli. The scheduled lunch stop is in Gallipoli town, overlooking the Dardanelles. Visit the Helles Memorial to the Missing, where the vast majority of those who fell in 1915 are commemorated, seeing the Turkish gun battery. Then stay for three nights in the Gallipoli area.

Begin your look at Gallipoli by focusing on the landings on 25th April 1915. Start on the British sector, seeing where the River Clyde landed the men of the 29th Division on V Beach, Seddul Bair, and the nearby V Beach Cemetery. Then move on to Lancashire Landing, where the 1st Lancashire Fusiliers won six V.C.s before breakfast. (This visit requires some walking as the roads to the beach are not accessible by coach.) At X Beach see where HMS Implacable landed 2nd Royal Fusiliers, and have a picnic lunch before taking a look at the ground fought over by the British in the second phase of the campaign.

Continuing your look at the 25th April landings move north to ANZAC, where the Australians and New Zealanders landed. Visit ANZAC itself, spending the morning walking along the landing beach and seeing the battlefield and nearby military cemeteries. Picnic lunch at Lone Pine, and the opportunity to discuss the Australian attack and see the Lone Pine Memorial and Cemetery. See where Albert Jacka became the first Australian to win the V.C. in WW1, and go to the Nek, where the Australian Light Horse suffered heavily in the August offensives – as graphically illustrated in the film ‘Gallipoli’. The day ends on the New Zealand battlefield at Chunuk Bair, seeing preserved Turkish trenches.

Transfer to Istanbul Airport and your return flight to the UK.
