Gallipoli ANZAC Battlefields Day Tour from Canakkale
This daily Gallipoli tour from Canakkale follows the story of the 1915 landings from the beach to the ridges above it. In one day you cross the Dardanelles, walk the shore where the ANZAC troops landed and stand on the hilltops that both armies fought for during eight long months. It is a day trip for anyone with a family link to Gallipoli, and for travellers who want to understand one of the defining moments of modern Turkey, Australia and New Zealand.
The day tour runs in a small group with a guide who speaks English, and gives both the Allied and the Ottoman side of the campaign.
Highlights
- Kilitbahir - the 15th-century fortress on the narrows, seen from the ferry
- Brighton Beach and Anzac Cove - the landing beaches of 25 April 1915
- Ari Burnu and Beach Cemetery - quiet war cemeteries on the shoreline
- Lone Pine - the main Australian memorial on the Gallipoli Peninsula
- 57th Regiment Memorial - the Turkish memorial to the defenders of the ridge
- Chunuk Bair - the New Zealand National Memorial and views over the battlefield
The Gallipoli Campaign began in 1915, when the Allies tried to force the Dardanelles and open a sea route to Istanbul. After the naval attack failed, troops were landed on the peninsula. The ANZAC landing at Ari Burnu became Anzac Cove; the fighting that followed turned into trench warfare on steep, scrub-covered ridges. In August, Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair saw some of the hardest battles of the campaign. The Allies evacuated the peninsula at the end of 1915 and in early 1916.
Today the area is protected as the Gallipoli Peninsula Historical Site, with cemeteries and memorials of all nations. The words of Ataturk to the mothers of the fallen, carved on the memorial at Ari Burnu, are one of the most moving stops of the day.
Good to know
- Wear comfortable shoes; paths at the memorials are short but uneven.
- Bring sun protection in summer and a warm layer from November to March.
- Spring and autumn are the most pleasant seasons; around 25 April the area is very busy.
- Combine with a Gallipoli day trip from Istanbul if you are not staying in Canakkale.
