Day One: Thursday 22nd April -
Arrival in Istanbul
Welcome to Turkey and the
beginning of your Anzac tour!
Once you have checked into your
hotel (Please note check in
times vary between hotels but
are normally no earlier than
noon) you have the rest of the
day free to explore Istanbul and
you will meet your guide later
that evening who will give you
information about the tour and
answer any questions you might
have.
Today depending on your arrival
time
you can join us on the optional
Bosphorus Cruise and
Gala Evening.

International Airport on the
22nd April then your tour
includes an airport transfer to
your hotel and you will be met
at the airport by the Samyeli
Travel team. Paid airport
transfers from Sabiha Gokcen
Airport in Istanbul on the 22nd
April are also available at
certain times (Please see FAQs)
and if arriving by alternative
means then you will be provided
details of your hotel in April
by email so you can make your
own way there.
Overnight:
Istanbul
Day Two: Friday 23rd April -
Istanbul to Gallipoli
- Guided Tour of Gallipoli
After an early breakfast we
drive to the World War I
Battlefield of Gallipoli
stopping along the way to have a
break for lunch.
You will also have an
opportunity to watch a movie
about Gallipoli so you get a
feel for the type of people who
fought in this war and to help
you picture conditions 95 years
ago.
This afternoon on a fully guided
tour, you will visit the
Kabatepe War Museum, Anzac Cove,
Hell Spit Cemetery, Lone Pine,
The Nek and the Chunuk Bair War
memorial.
Your guide will reveal stories
of battle woes and will bring
alive the legend of the Anzac's.
By
visiting the peninsula on the 23rd
April we get to spend more time
exploring without the crowds
from other tours that arrive on
the 24th. This evening we will
travel to our luxurious
accommodation, where an
all-you-can-eat buffet dinner
awaits.
Overnight:
Edremit
Meals Included:
Breakfast & Dinner
Day Three: Saturday 24th April -
Rural
Village Visit and Prepare for
Anzac Day
Today you will see and enjoy the
rural side of Turkey. You don’t
need to wake up early in the
morning as we will leave after
breakfast for Tahtakuşlar.
Here you can observe the ideal
Turkish village life of nomads
as you look around the only
village museum in Turkey
(awarded by Unesco). In this
museum there are objects about
the fauna & flora of Turkey and
all the handcrafted nomadic arts
are displayed. Turkish people
are Nomadic in origin but today
most of them have settled on the
top of mountains. There are more
than 40,000 nomadic villages and
tribes in Turkey and one of them
is the picturesque
Village
of Çamlibel which is on the
outskirts of the mythological
Olympos Mountain (today’s Mount
Ida). They are waiting for you
here to show you the famous
Turkish hospitality and
friendship. A guest is a king in
Turkey therefore you will be
made welcome with food and drink
while you relax. In the
afternoon we head back to the
hotel to enjoy the rest of the
day. Make sure you get plenty of
rest because ANZAC day will be a
long busy day. A buffet dinner
will be served so you can fill
up before departing for
Gallipoli late afternoon.
We arrive at Anzac Cove to
ensure we get a good spot for
the dawn service. Don't forget
your sleeping bags, warm
clothes, wet weather gear and
torches because Gallipoli is
still as dark and cold tonight
as it was 95 years ago when your
ancestors landed.
Overnight:
Anzac Cove
Meals:
Breakfast & Dinner
Please Note: We recommend
bringing a small day pack with
you to carry things around
during the overnight stay and
also during the day on the 25th
April as you will not be able to
access your main luggage from
when you leave Edremit until you
arrive in Istanbul on the night
of the 25th. Your main luggage
will be securely locked away in
the coach overnight.
Day Four: Sunday 25th April -
ANZAC Day
(Gallipoli to Istanbul)
At first light the day begins
