Located on the north-western side of the Dardenelles, the Gallipoli peninsula has long been a key to Istanbul in that anyone breaking through the straits, had a good chance of capturing Istanbul. Many have tried, but few have succeeded. Although today the Gallipoli Peninsula is a peaceful place, it is a place of great significance for Australians and New Zealanders, many of whom make the trek here each year for ANZAC Day. 06.00 – 06.30 Pick up from hotel door around Taksim area 06.30 – 07.00 Pick up from hotel door around Sultanahmet area Depart for Eceabat by non smoking, A/C minibus 12.00 Arrive in Eceabat 12.10 Restaurant lunch in Eceabat 13.00 Depart for Fully Guided Gallipoli Tour Brighton Beach, Beach Cemetery, ANZAC Cove, Ariburnu Cemetery, ANZAC Commemorative Site, Respect to Mehmetcik Statue, Lone Pine Australian Memorial, Johnston’s Jolly, (Turkish and Allied trenches and tunnels), Turkish 57.
