Day 2 - Full Day Gallipoli Tour

Most of the travel agencies organizing tours to Gallipoli organize half day tours only enough to visit/see the Anzac sector but we plan to complete your pilgrimage by showing both north(Anzac) and south(Helles) sectors. The south sector also known as "Cape Helles region" is where mostly British, French, Turkish and also some Anzac soldiers fought. Although the south Sector not much famous, most of the casualties during the Gallipoli Campaign occured here. At the south sector, besides the British, French &  Turkish graves you can also visit those of the forgotten Anzac Heroes. So our aim with organizing this tour is to show equal respect to all soldiers lost their lives during the 1915 Gallipoli Campaign.
