## Itinerary

### Day 1 : Gallipoli battlefields

The minivan collects you from your hotel in Çanakkale and drives to the ferry for the crossing to the Gallipoli Peninsula. On the European shore, [Kilitbahir Castle](https://tubostravelturkey.com/travel/kilitbahir-castle/) guards the narrowest point of the Dardanelles. The castle was built by Mehmed the Conqueror between 1462 and 1463, and it now houses a museum with exhibits on Piri Reis. From the castle the route moves on to the battlefield memorials.

The next stop is [Chunuk Bair](https://tubostravelturkey.com/travel/chunuk-bair/), a high ridge where Ottoman forces halted the Allied advance in August 1915. The guide walks you past preserved trenches and Commonwealth and Turkish monuments, with wide views over the Dardanelles. Lunch at a local restaurant with a soft drink follows.

In the afternoon the group visits [Anzac Cove](https://tubostravelturkey.com/travel/anzac-cove/), where Australian and New Zealand troops came ashore on April 25, 1915. Ari Burnu Cemetery and the Atatürk reconciliation memorial stand near the shoreline. The minivan then returns you to your hotel in Çanakkale for the night.

### Day 2 : Troy and the Trojan Horse in Çanakkale

After breakfast at the hotel, the minivan takes the group to the Troy Museum at the entrance to the excavations in Tevfikiye village. Opened in 2018 inside a weathering-steel cube, the museum holds artifacts from the Bronze Age to the Byzantine era, and its 480-meter ramp leads past the Archaic Polyxena Sarcophagus and the Troas gold jewelry.

The guide then leads the group into the [Troya Ancient City](https://tubostravelturkey.com/travel/troya-ancient-city/) at Hisarlık, where a wooden boardwalk passes the 1975 wooden horse, the Late Bronze Age limestone walls and Schliemann's Trench. Lunch at a local restaurant with a soft drink follows.

In the afternoon, the guide takes you to the [Çanakkale](https://tubostravelturkey.com/travel/canakkale/) city center to see the 15th-century Çimenlik Castle and the 1889 Mirror Bazaar. The day ends on the Kordon waterfront at the [Trojan Horse statue](https://tubostravelturkey.com/travel/the-trojan-horse-statue/), followed by drop-off in Çanakkale.

## Who this tour suits

This tour suits readers of military history, visitors with family ties to the Gallipoli campaign, and anyone who wants the story of the battlefields and the Troy excavations explained on site by a licensed guide. It works for travelers who would rather spend two days on history than on beaches, and for people who want a single hotel base in Çanakkale for both sites. Because the group is private, the guide can spend more time at Chunuk Bair or at the Troy Museum, depending on what your group wants. It is less suited to travelers looking for a relaxed beach stay, since both days are built around historic sites and outdoor memorials.

## Best time and reaching Çanakkale

Çanakkale is a port city on the Dardanelles Strait, and the Gallipoli memorials sit outdoors on open ground. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons for walking the battlefields, with mild weather and fewer visitors. In summer the sun is strong on the exposed ridges, so bring water and a hat. Winter brings wind and rain, and the ferry crossing can be affected by weather. Tell us how you travel to Çanakkale when you ask for a price, so that the first pick-up can match your arrival.
