Gallipoli & Troy Combined: Full-Day Private Luxury Tour

The ultimate Dardanelles day — both the sacred Gallipoli battlefields and ancient Troy — in a single seamlessly managed private tour with a specialist guide and premium transport. For the discerning traveller who refuses to choose between Homer and history.

What to expect

Departing Çanakkale port by private vehicle, you take the short ferry crossing to the Gallipoli Peninsula and visit ANZAC Cove, Lone Pine Memorial, and the Çanakkale Martyrs' Memorial at your own pace. After a waterfront lunch overlooking the strait, you recross by ferry and drive 30 minutes south to Troy, where you walk the Bronze Age walls, Homeric city layers, and the Troy Museum. Your guide narrates both chapters — Ottoman and ancient Greek — with equal command. Private vehicle returns you to port in time for all-aboard.

Good to know

This is a long day (8–9 hours) — verify your ship's all-aboard time is 18:00 or later. Private tours can be tailored: if Troy matters more, weight the schedule accordingly. Book 4+ weeks ahead for private specialist guide availability. Comfortable walking shoes essential; both sites involve uneven ground.
