## Tour Program

### Day 1 | ASSOS BOZCAADA ÇANAKKALE

On the night before the specified tour date, we start our pleasant journey by picking up our guests at 22:15 in Kızılay, 22:25 at Armada AVM, and 22:35 under the Ümitköy Bridge with our comfortable bus.

After our necessary breaks, we reach the region in the morning hours. Following breakfast at our restaurant under the guidance of our tour guide, we leave behind the historic village houses that stand out with their medieval architecture and arrive at the Pergamon (Bergama) Acropolis, which has one of the most important wall systems of the ancient period, surrounded by walls 3 km long.

Here, we see structures such as the Temple of Athena, remnants from the Roman period, and the Hüdavendigar Mosque built during the reign of Sultan Murad I; we receive panoramic information from our guide about the Agora, which was used as a church at one time, Bouleuterion (Council House), Gymnasium, the horseshoe-shaped Ancient Theater, and Stoa, which are located on the southern slopes of the Acropolis.

After our tour, we head towards Geyikli Harbor to take a ferry to Bozcaada. We provide free time for a tea-coffee break on the beach until our ferry departure time. After a half-hour ferry ride, we arrive in Bozcaada.

As we step into Bozcaada, we are greeted by its charming streets, stone houses, and vibrant atmosphere. Guests who wish can explore Bozcaada Castle with us, after which we offer free time for lunch in the region's famous restaurants known for fresh Aegean fish.

After lunch, you can take pleasant walks accompanied by the island's warm breeze or shop for local-produced tomato jam and regional drinks. Close to sunset, after enjoying our tea on the beach, we return to Geyikli by ferry and then board our bus to head to our hotel.

Dinner and accommodation will be at our hotel.

### Day 2 | ÇANAKKALE - GALLIPOLI

In the morning, after having breakfast at our hotel, we head to the Çanakkale Ferry Terminal. We board the ferry with our bus and reach the Gallipoli Peninsula after a half-hour sea journey.

In these sacred lands that bear deep traces of history, we begin our visits to the memorial sites. First, we see Kilitbahir Castle, the Rumeli Namazgah Battery, and the Rumeli Hamidiye Battery panoramically. Then, we proceed to the Rumeli Mecidiye Battery. Here, we listen to our guide about the heroic story of Seyit Onbaşı, the symbol of the 18 March Naval Victory, and take a short photo break at this meaningful spot.

Continuing our tour, we visit the Şahindere Field Hospital Cemetery, which provided service under the difficult conditions of war. Then, we reach the Çanakkale Martyrs' Memorial (Abide-i Hürriyet), which is dedicated to the memory of 60,000 Mehmetçik. Accompanied by our guide, we tour the symbolic cemetery, the representation of unit monuments, and nearby visiting points.

Next, we arrive at Seddülbahir via Morto Bay and the French Cemetery. Here, we listen to our guide about the incredible resistance shown by Yahya Çavuş and his 63 soldiers against an enemy force of 2,800 men on April 25; we visit the Yahya Çavuş Martyr's Cemetery and the Hellas Monument.

After having lunch in Alçıtepe Village, we turn our route towards ANZAC Cove. Here, we visit the Ariburnu Battles, Sphinx Rocks, North Beach, ANZAC Cemetery (panoramic view), and the Respect to the Mehmetçik Monument.

Finally, we reach the 57th Regiment Martyr's Cemetery, one of the most striking examples of the epic resistance of the Turkish soldier. We see Kesikdere Martyr's Cemetery, Kılıçbayırı, and Anafartalar Plain panoramically. Then, we climb to Conkbayırı, the place where the fate of the war changed, where bullets collided in the air, with 6,000 bullets falling per square meter, and the site of Mustafa Kemal’s famous order: “I command you not to advance but to die.”

At Conkbayırı, we visit historical sites such as;

- New Zealand Monument
- Mustafa Kemal’s observation point

After this meaningful and emotional tour, we return to our hotels by bus.
