Overview

Travel from Istanbul to Gallipoli on 24 April 2027 for a moving ANZAC Day experience on 25 April. Join the Dawn Service and learn about the 1915 campaign with a professional English-speaking guide, with round-trip transport in air-conditioned, non-smoking vehicles.

The overnight programme combines the commemorations with battlefield and memorial visits where access is permitted. One restaurant lunch and an ANZAC Day lunch box are included. After the 25 April programme, return to Istanbul.

Ceremony times, national service attendance and battlefield access depend on the official 2027 timetable and restrictions; attendance at both Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair cannot be guaranteed. Each traveller must obtain the required individual attendance pass when registration opens. This tour spans 24-25 April; prepare for an overnight outdoor wait before the Dawn Service.
