Your Experience

Travelers to Turkey, especially those visiting there for the first time, are not generally planning to visit a battlefield from World War I and visit Gallipoli as part of their trip. However, this might be your best shot to witness the prominent history of Gallipoli. You'll see not only one of World War I's most horrific campaigns, but also the birth of three national identities. The history isn't on a Homeresque scale, but it's still a huge achievement. Britain's Gallipoli campaign, which began with the attack on Constantinople (now Istanbul) in 1915, was aimed at forcing Germany's ally, Turkey, out of the war.

What to Expect On Your Guided Tour

Your tour will begin in the lovely town of Eceabat where you'll eat at a local restaurant and then take a guided tour around the peninsula with an English-speaking guide. Get immersed and captivated with his stories about various sites you will visit. In the Gallipoli Peninsula, many soldiers, mostly Australians and Kiwis, died during the war, so the landscape has a poignant atmosphere.Visit Brighton Beach, ANZAC Cove, Nek Ridge, and Chunuk Bair, where you can pay your respects to the fallen soldiers. You'll even visit Johnston's Jolly, a battleground where troops from the Turkish and Allied armies stood for cover.
