Follow two sectors of the Gallipoli campaign on a full-day tour from Canakkale or Eceabat. Begin with Kilitbahir Fortress, Achi Baba, V Beach and the Cape Helles Memorial, then continue after lunch to the ANZAC shore, trenches and ridge memorials.
Your guide uses the terrain to explain the fighting, from the narrow landing coast to Johnston’s Jolly and the heights at Chunuk Bair. A vehicle links the ten stops, with walking at each site. The Canakkale schedule is around 08:30–17:00, with guiding, listed entry fees, required ferries, hotel transport and restaurant lunch included.
If you would rather combine ancient history with the battlefield, the Troy and Gallipoli day tour from Canakkale pairs Troy with the ANZAC sites instead of Cape Helles.
