Anzac Day Gallipoli
2 Day Tour 2025

Join PP Travel's fully guided tour to Anzac Cove. Our tour departs Istanbul early on the 24th of April heading directly to the Gallipoli Peninsula for a thorough background and insight into the 1915 campaign with visits all the major sites. Your experienced PP Travel guide will have you thoroughly prepared for the evening at Anzac Cove and the dawn service the 25th of April. After the Dawn Service, we offer walking tours of the Anzac Cove sites, then head to either the Australian or New Zealand commemorative service before our return to Istanbul.

The PP Total Gallipoli Peninsula tour experience: Don't be simply dropped off and left to sit for hours at Anzac Cove, like many other operators do. We plan to tour the entire Gallipoli Peninsula, including Cape Helles (British landing and memorial), the massive Turkish memorial, after touring the heights and front lines of the Anzac area - we cover all the major sites.

We also have a welcome meeting at our Istanbul base - Cheers Hostel - the night before the tour. Collect your stylish souvenir Anzac hoodie, join our BBQ, let our crew answer any questions, and stay on for the free Turkish belly dancing show.

PP Travel is a 100% Aussie and Kiwi owned tour company and has been since 1991. When it comes to Anzac Day in Gallipoli - experience counts!

Itinerary for 2 Day Tour 2025

Day 1 - Thursday 24 April 2025
Check In Istanbul - Depart for Gallipoli
Check in with PP Travel Rep at Cheers Hostel between 7am and 7:30am. We then walk to our coaches for an 8.00am departure from Istanbul. On the drive to the Gallipoli Peninsula you will learn of the fate of over 10,000 Australians and New Zealanders.

After lunch at the town of Eceabat, on the shores of the Dardanelles, we plan to tour the entire Gallipoli Peninsula, taking in the major sites in the Anzac front line, such as Lone Pine, Quinn's Post, Chunuk Bair and The Nek. We then head to the massive Turkish memorial at the mouth of the Dardanelles and the British landings at Cape Helles, at the very point of the peninsula. With our experienced crew, we aim to give you a thorough knowledge of this ill-fated campaign.
After a dinner break again in Eceabat, we head to the Anzac Cove area late evening to enter the commemorate site. You then have plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere and witness first hand the Anzac spirit and comradery as you meet thousands of other Aussies and Kiwi's who are also here on the same overnight pilgrimage under the stars. You will want to bring sleeping bag and warm clothes as it can get very cold in the early hours.

Note: Our tour of the Gallipoli Peninsula is subject to random road closures by the Turkish authorities on the day.
