Gallipoli was the setting of a major World War 1 battle undertaken by Australian and New Zealand troops and marked a significant victory for the Turkish campaign against the Allies. Attending Gallipoli is not just a day to remember the thousands of soldiers that sacrificed their lives on all sides, but hear stories of courage, endurance and mateship and of the significance of this area. Troy, both an archaeological site reflecting 4000 years of history of one of the most famous cities that existed and part of a legend reflected in Homer's "Illiad". You can enjoy both of these tours over two unrushed days with expert guides.
