Itinerary

Meet at The Haze Karaköy

Day 1
  • Location: Gallipoli

    Accommodation Name: Sleeping under the stars at the commemorative site

    G'day from Istanbul! Be ready and raring to go outside the front of the Haze Hotel at 12:30pm sharp. All aboard the coach as we head to the shores of Gallipoli. While we're on the bus, have a yarn with your tour leader – they'll give you the lowdown on what's happening over the next few days. Tonight, we'll be sleeping under the stars right where the ceremony's happening. That way, we'll have the best spot for the Dawn Service.

Day 2
  • Location: Gallipoli

    We'll be up before the crack of dawn to watch the sun rise over the battlefield and remember the diggers who made the ultimate sacrifice all those years ago. Later in the day, we'll head to Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair to attend the national ceremonies and services. In the arvo, we'll make our way back to Istanbul. Our trip will wrap up tonight in Istanbul after we say goodbye to our new mates.
