Day One: Friday
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.
If you arrive into Ataturk 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: Saturday 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 96 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: Sunday
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
Tahtakuslar. 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 Camlibel 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 96 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: Monday 25th April
- ANZAC Day (Gallipoli to Istanbul)
At first light the day begins with the Dawn Service
held at the ANZAC Commemorative Site, which will be
followed by the Australian and New Zealand memorial
services held at Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair
respectively. Today is the reason you came to
Turkey, to commemorate the sacrifice your
forefathers have made. Emotions run high and this
afternoon you will travel back to Istanbul, arriving
there in the late evening.
Overnight: Istanbul
Meals: Lunchbox
Day Five: Tuesday
26th April - Istanbul City Tour
This morning we partake in a fully guided tour of
the only city to span two continents. We will visit

marvels of architecture, constructed as a basilica
in the 6th century by Emperor Justinian. Blue
Mosque, facing Hagia Sophia, famous with its
blue Iznik tiles and unique with 6 minarets, built
in the name of Sultan Ahmet. Hippodrome,
