2 Days / 1 Night Gallipoli & Troy Tour from Istanbul

Join our Gallipoli and Troy tour from Istanbul and experience two of Turkey’s most iconic historical sites in just two days. This tour combines the emotional weight of World War I battlefields with the mythological wonder of ancient Troy. It is perfect for travelers who enjoy history, storytelling, and guided discovery.

On day one, we depart early from Istanbul and make our way to the Gallipoli Peninsula. After a scenic ride and a local lunch in Eceabat, we begin exploring the key sites of the Gallipoli campaign. You’ll visit Brighton Beach, ANZAC Cove, and Ariburnu Cemetery. These places mark the landing points of thousands of soldiers. We continue to the Lone Pine Memorial and the trenches at Johnston’s Jolly. Here, you’ll gain a deeper sense of what trench warfare was really like. Later, we visit the 57th Infantry Regiment Cemetery and Chunuk Bair New Zealand Memorial. After a full afternoon, we cross the Dardanelles and stay overnight in Çanakkale.

On day two, the tour continues with a visit to ancient Troy. This UNESCO World Heritage Site blends legend and archaeology. As we walk through 3,700-year-old walls, your guide will explain Troy’s many layers of civilization. We explore the replica of the Trojan Horse, sacrificial altars, and public buildings like the Bouleuterion and Odeon. Moreover, you’ll hear stories from Homer’s Iliad and learn how myth and history connect.

By the end of the Gallipoli and Troy tour from Istanbul, you’ll return with not just memories, but a deep appreciation for Turkey’s layered heritage. With transport, meals, lodging, and professional guides included, this two-day journey is both comfortable and enlightening.
