2009 ANZAC Day Budget Tours
'ANZAC Fez Bus - Istanbul Trooper'
3 - Day itinerary
24 Apr 2009 to 26 Apr 2009

Welcome to Istanbul. We meet at the Fez office in Istanbul for an early morning departure to the WW1 battlefields of Gallipoli. Along the way we will stop for a meal break and a chance to stock up on supplies and rations to see you through the night and the following day. Once we arrive at the Gallipoli peninsula, we will take you on an orientation tour of the battlefields before we arrive at our final destination of Anzac Cove in the early evening, to secure a good spot on the grass for the long night ahead. Overnight ANZAC Cove

(Please note: no accommodation is available on this night as you will sleep under the stars as the ANZAC's did 94 years before)

Awake before sunrise to the Anzac Dawn service and commemorate our fallen fore fathers on this special day. The Gallipoli battlefields are well sign posted so you can walk amidst the various cemeteries, trenches and memorials on your way to Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair to attend the Australian, Turkish and New Zealand memorial services. Late afternoon you will meet up with the Fez Bus again to head back to Istanbul.
Overnight Istanbul

After Breakfast your tour concludes and sadly it is time to say good bye to new friends.
