Itinerary Overview
Homer’s ruined city and Gallipoli’s war cemeteries anchor the Troy and Gallipoli Day Tour, a long drive from Istanbul to Çanakkale and back, running from around 5:30 AM to about 10:30 PM. Hotel pickup and drop-off cover the European side of Istanbul only.
At Troy, a UNESCO World Heritage site with nine layers of civilization, you see the Trojan Horse and the ancient city walls. The afternoon covers the Gallipoli Peninsula, including ANZAC Cove, Lone Pine Monument and Chunuk Bair New Zealand Memorial. One Nation Travel, a licensed local tour operator in Istanbul, TÜRSAB A-6073, operating since 2008, coordinates the day. The early start and long road hours suit travelers used to full days.
