This itinerary blends Istanbul's history with the peninsula for a complete journey.

Days 1-2: Istanbul to the peninsula

Start with Istanbul's WWI-era sites, then travel to the peninsula and settle into your base at Eceabat or Canakkale.

Days 3-4: ANZAC and Helles in full

Dedicate a full day each to the ANZAC and Helles sectors, walking the trench lines, cemeteries and memorials without time pressure.

Day 5: Troy and return

Visit Troy and the Canakkale waterfront, then make a relaxed return towards Istanbul, with optional stops along the way.
