We will meet at 6:30am at the designated Samyeli Travel meeting point in the

board the coach and head towards Gallipoli stopping to pick up supplies for
lunch and the overnight stay at Gallipoli. 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 97 years ago.
Once we arrive in Gallipoli we will have 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. You will then head to Anzac Cove to get a good spot for
the Dawn Service which starts early the following morning.

Day Two: Wednesday 25th April
- ANZAC Day (Gallipoli to Istanbul)
At first light you will experience the Dawn Service, a truly moving experience
for everyone. You will hear tributes and tales of your fellow countrymen and
join the many thousands who make the pilgrimage to Gallipoli to remember the
fallen. After the Dawn Service you will make your way to the various sites for
the different commemorations. First is the Australian Service at Lone Pine and
then the New Zealand service at Chunuk Bair. At the conclusion of the NZ
service you will be collected from either Lone Pine or Chunuk Bair by your guide
and coach and will depart to Eceabat where there will be time for a short break
and those who wish to leave the tour here can do so and head by ferry to
Canakkale on the main land to continue their travels around Turkey. The coach
will then depart for Istanbul arriving in the evening and will drop you off at
the Samyeli Travel Meeting Point.
