Visiting Istanbul for a brief stopover? You can still take the pilgramage to Gallipoli on a day trip from Istanbul.
It is a full day trip but well worth the effort to see this beautiful moving site. Visit all the places you have only read and heard about…. Anzac Cove, Lone Pine, the Dawn Service Memorial Site, Johnstons Jolly, The Nek as well as the trenches and tunnels. In its hundredth anniversary year it is a very special time to commemorate the sacrifices of your forebears and those of the Turkish people. Don’t miss the chance to visit this memorable city from Istanbul.
