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 is not as popular as the North, 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.

DAY 2 Depart for 'Dawn Tour' 05.30 a.m.

Drive to ANZAC Cove & North Beach. (Where the landings were made) Have a briefing about the landing. Please pay attention that we are not promising any service at Anzac Cove but only "ATTENDANCE IN ANZAC COVE AT DAWN" accompanied by our guide. Our vehicle will take you there and back to Eceabat for beakfast and Gall. tour after it. During the ample time there, you will be free to wander up and down in the Cove, visit the Ariburnu Cemetery next to it where first burials were made on the first day, view The Sphinx with the first sunrays on it, dip your feet in the sea, feel the air your relative breathed and experienced at the very moment 101 years ago and you may also perform your own private service, sing your national anthem and so forth...
