On April 25th, 1915, Allied troops landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The military campaign that followed was disastrous for the Allies yet came to define the national psyches of Australia and New Zealand. Travel to these solemn battlefields on the anniversary of the landing and wander through Anzac Cove to the Nek and Lone Pine. Walk through the trenches, attend a moving dawn service and hear the stories of heroism and camaraderie immortalised in Australia's Anzac history. This journey provides a great opportunity to pay respect to the fallen of World War I and to reflect on what they fought for.
Highlights
- Pay your respects to the fallen at Gallipoli – a moving and educational experience regardless of your age or background.
- Take part in the true Antipodean pilgrimage – something every Australian and New Zealander should experience at some point.
- Focus on the Anzac Day Dawn service, with all logistics to and from the site taken care of for you.
- Start and end in Istanbul, making this trip to Gallipoli easy to organise during your stay in Turkey.
- Have a barbeque dinner in Eceabat before making your way to the Anzac Commemorative site, where you’ll settle in for the night, ready for dawn.

This was a fantastic way to see and experience the ANZAC Day celebrations at Gallipoli. This was a Bucket list trip for me and Intrepid made it not only possible but also, memorable and enjoyable. I learnt so much and now understand so much more about our shared history with Turkey.
