Welcome to Turkey! At the Istanbul airport terminal keep your eyes peeled for the Travel Talk sign for your transfer to the hotel. Meet in the hotel reception in the evening (please check the board in reception) for an informal meeting with your group and guide. After the meeting, join in an optional group dinner at a local restaurant to get to know your new travel mates.
Today we sit back and relax in the coach. Watch the amazing Turkish scenery unfold before us and see small towns and villages as we pass on by. We will stay overnight in Pamukkale.
Get your cameras ready, as it is time to visit Pamukkale, or ‘cotton castle’ in Turkish. Pamukkale is a natural site that contains hot springs and travertine, giving the appearance of terraces made by carbonate minerals left by the flowing water. The ancient city of Hierapolis was built on top of the white castle and people have bathed in its pools for thousands of years. We will sleep overnight in the seaside town of Selçuk.
Our first stop today is Ephesus which is a spectacular, well preserved ancient city. Ephesus was cited in the book of Revelations, and historians believe the Gospel of John was written here. Famed for the Temple of Artemis which was completed around 550 BC and is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Our next stop for the day is Pergamum, where we will visit the ruins of the Asklepion, an ancient healing centre. We will then drive to Ayvalik where you will have the afternoon to relax and discover the seaside town.
Today we will depart for ancient city of Troy. You may of heard of Troy from Greek mythology or maybe just watched the Brad Pitt movie, but now you will visit the ruins and archaeological site of the city of Troy, and of course the famous wooden horse. In the evening we head to the shores of Gallipoli. Tonight, we will sleep under the stars at the ceremony space to ensure we have the best position for the Dawn Service.
We wake before the break of dawn and watch as the sun rise over the battlefield, as we remember the soldiers who lost their lives on this exact day all those years ago. We will also attend the national ceremonies and services at Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair later in the day. This afternoon we will depart for Canakkale.
Today we will explore the Gallipoli peninsula without the crowds. It is in silence and quiet contemplation we can truly capture the ANZAC spirit. Today provides a more in-depth and emotional experience to reflect and explore the history and heartbeat of this region. We will visit Kabatepe War Museum, Lone Pine, Chunuk Bair, Jonston’s Jolly, North Beach, Ari Burnu, Hell Spit, Brighton Beach, Shrapnel Valley, Artillery Road, and the Turkish Memorial. In the afternoon, we will drive back to where our adventure began, Istanbul.
After breakfast, we begin to experience the magnificence of Istanbul. We will stroll through the historical heart of the old city, making stops along the way to the Blue Mosque, Hippodrome, majestic Topkapi Palace and the Hagia Sophia. We will then take a relaxing cruise along the Bosphorus capturing the delights of Istanbul.
Our trip will end in Istanbul after we say goodbye to our new friends over breakfast and check-out of the hotel by 11:00am.

J. Swales
Very greatful to have had such amazing drivers for this tour and the worlds best guide. Sami made the tour extraordinary with his wealth of knowledge and love for the country. Great sense of humour and our bus had a real sense of family.
K. Shepherd
All in all, my experience with Travel Talk was great. Everything was well organised and ran relatively smoothly. The Anzac Day trip was for sure a highlight. I will definitely be recommending this trip to others.
S. Collison
The bus driver was friendly, safe and efficient. Sami was amazing! He was so knowledgeable about an incredible amount of Turkish history and the way Turkish life varied to the passengers lives. He added a great deal to the trip and is a fantastic representative of Travel Talk.
Z. Vallance
Overall, this was an absolutely brilliant tour! We had a great group of people on the bus, with a very friendly, helpful and generally excellent tour guide(Sami). Our two bus drivers(Oktay + Nafiz) were both brilliant, getting us around quickly + safely and always happy to stop to suit the tour group. The sightseeing + activities were great, covering all the main essentials that you want to see when visitng Turkey as well as a few extras. Although i booked the trip mainly for the Anzac dawn service at Gallipoli, i really did enjoy all the sightseeing. Anzac day was amazing!
