This tour brings together two different but equally profound chapters of history. You will trace the footsteps of the Trojan War, which took place thousands of years ago and became the subject of Homer's epic Iliad, alongside the Gallipoli Campaign, one of the bloodiest and most talked-about battles of the 20th century. Both locations affect visitors in different ways; while Troy stimulates your imagination, Gallipoli leaves you in deep reflection.

Gallipoli Peninsula

Departing early in the morning from Istanbul, we arrive in Gallipoli. Accompanied by a guide, you will visit the Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair memorials, Anzac Cove, The Nek, Johnstone's Jolly, and the Anzac Museum. These locations encompass the areas where Australian, New Zealand, British, and Ottoman forces fought during World War I. Although the region now has the appearance of a peaceful historical park, the historical weight it carries cannot be unfelt at every step.

Troy in the 2-Day Option

On the second day, the ancient city of Troy is visited. Also known as Ilium, this site is the setting for the legendary Trojan Horse and the stories of Helen. Archaeological excavations are still ongoing, and the museum, which has been significantly developed in recent years, helps you understand the region much better. You almost come face-to-face with history in this area, where nine different cities from different eras were built on top of one another.

✅ Included in the tour: Professional guide, hotel pick-up/drop-off transfers, breakfast and lunch according to the itinerary, all scheduled visits.
✦ Optional (at extra cost): Museum entrance fees, drinks, personal expenses.
