The Spirit of Anzac in Gallipoli

The Spirit of Anzac in Gallipoli

Tour Highlights
Most of the tours organizing to Gallipoli organize only enough to see/visit the Anzac region. We aim to complete your pilgrimage by showing both north (Anzac) and south (Helles) regions. The south region of the Gallipoli peninsula also known as “Cape Helles sector” is where mostly French, British, Turkish and also some Anzac soldiers fought. Although the South sector is not as popular as the North, most of the casualties during the Gallipoli war 1915 occurred here. At the south (Cape Helles) sector, besides the British, Turkish & French graves you can also visit those of the forgotten Anzac Heroes. So our aim with organizing this program is to show equal respect to all soldiers lost their lives during the 1915 Gallipoli Campaign.
