- Visiting the Blue Mosque & Hippodrome
After the city tour you will have a lunch
break before departing for Gallipoli and on
the way your guide will give you some
information about the Gallipoli region and
the battles that took place so when you
visit the various sites on Anzac Day you
will understand their importance. You will
also have an opportunity to watch a
documentary or movie about the Gallipoli
campaign so you get a feel for the type of
people who fought in this war and to help
you picture conditions 96 years ago. Upon
arriving near Gallipoli there will be time
for a dinner break before we make our way to
Anzac Cove for the overnight stay at
the cove.

until arriving back in Istanbul on the
evening of the 25th. Your main luggage will
be securely locked away in the coach
overnight. Please also note that the weather
in Anzac Cove overnight can get very cold so
we suggest you bring sleeping bags, blankets
and warm clothing for this stay and even a
