Private Gallipoli Battlefields: Anzac Cove & War Memorials

Walk the hallowed ground of Anzac Cove, Chunuk Bair, and Lone Pine Cemetery with a dedicated expert guide. This is one of the most emotionally powerful historical sites on earth — a bucket-list pilgrimage for anyone who values courage and sacrifice.

What to expect

A short ferry crossing over the Dardanelles delivers you to the Gallipoli Peninsula, where rolling green hills belie the ferocity of the 1915 battles. Your expert historian-guide walks you through Anzac Cove's pebbled shore, the moving rows of Lone Pine Cemetery, and panoramic Chunuk Bair. Kabatepe Museum's vivid dioramas set the campaign in unforgettable context before you return to port.

Good to know

The ferry crossing takes about 25 minutes each way; allow a full day (6–8 hours) for justice to the site. Pre-book your private guide to secure availability, as this is the most in-demand excursion from Canakkale. All-aboard times in Canakkale are typically early evening — confirm with your ship and communicate this to your guide when booking.
