These tours are for travellers who want to experience ANZAC day and the highlights of Turkey on a shoestring.
Step back in time and experience what the ANZAC's experienced, wander roads where Trojan, Greek, Roman and Anatolia warriors once trod. Marvel at the dramatic beauty of the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts. Absorb the landscape and watch villagers drying fruit on their rooftops, baking bread or riding donkeys through the main town. Live out every kid's dream and sleep in a tree house on the hillside of Zeus. Marvel at the mythical natural wonders or go underground and sleep in caves.
These fully optional tours give you the choice to do as much or as little as you want and you can do all this, only in Turkey!
Day 1
Sunday 24th April
Welcome to Istanbul.
We meet at the Fez office in Istanbul for an early morning departure to the WW1 battlefields of Gallipoli. Along the way we will stop for a meal break and a chance to stock up on supplies and rations to see you through the night and the following day. Once we arrive at the Gallipoli peninsula, we will take you on an orientation tour of the battlefields before we arrive at our final destination of Anzac Cove in the early evening, to secure a good spot on the grass for the long night ahead. Overnight ANZAC Cove (Please note: no accommodation is available on this night as you will sleep under the stars as the ANZAC's did 95 years before)
