gallipoli tours

Looking for tours to gallipoli. Before you book a gallipoli tour you should consider staying at the gallipoli houses during your tour. Recommended by touring companies and tour operators around the world and a refuge for seasoned tourists

A (rental) car is by far the best way to tour the Gallipoli peninsula from the hotel. It gives you total freedom and nearly all places in the national park can be reached by regular car from May till October. Note that some of the remote tracks may be a bit bumpy and put some strain on your vehicle. In early spring, late autumn and winter access to remote areas is limited as some of the tracks become difficult (impossible even) to handle without a 4WD vehicle, equipped with suitable MT tires.

A chartered vehicle : For those who prefer things to be organised we can help you to book a chauffeur driven car or minibus with or without local guide through a reliable licensed travel agency.

Taxis work on fixed fees and are available for transfers & daily tours. For those who want to walk the battlefields, a drop off in the morning and pick-up in the afternoon from any point on the battlefields can be organised and is cheaper than a full day rental of the taxi.

Public transport is in its infancy and is reduced to three minibus services: From Eceabat you can travel to/from Kabatepe (Anzac), Alçıtepe & Seddülbahır (Helles) and Bigalı and Anafartalar (Suvla). Note that these services are limited and you will still have to do a good deal of walking to get to the battlefields.

Helles is more spread out and –without a vehicle- can be covered in two to three days.

It is not advisable to go to Suvla without some sort of transpor-tation as this area is not only remote but points of interest are spread out.

For those who are mainly interested in the Anzac sector and who are under a certain time pressure we strongly recommand Lt-Colonel Glenn Wahlerts' latest book : An Australian Army Battlefield Guide, Exploring Gallipoli, a pocket guide, including an audio CD, extremely usefull in the field.

On foot : The battlefields are walkable but be prepared, it's rough country. Good walking boots, long pants, a sun hat, and lots of water are a must!

Anzac is the most compact of the three and can be covered in one day.

A WORD OF ADVISE : Due to the rough terrain & remoteness of some of the battlefields it is advisable not to go on your own.
