TOUR PROGRAM

DAY 1: MARMARIS-ÇANAKKALE JOURNEY-TROY ANCIENT CITY-TROY MUSEUM-TEVFİKİYE VILLAGE-HOTEL

Our valued guests will gather in front of Eşref Girginç Park at 6:00 a.m. and begin this special tour. After taking breaks along the way, we will arrive at the ancient city of Troy for our first visit. Troy, one of history's most important and renowned ancient cities, sheds light on a history spanning nearly 5,000 years and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After taking photos with the Trojan Horse at the entrance, we tour this precious ancient city with our guide and learn important information. Upon completion of our visit, we visit the award-winning Troy Museum, which showcases the life and archaeological history of the ancient city of Troy, steeped in history in Homer's Iliad, and its cultures through artifacts unearthed from excavations. Opened after 2018 was declared the Year of Troy, this invaluable museum has won the 2020 European Museum of the Year award. Following this visit, which will provide you with an even better visualization of the ancient city we've explored, we pass through the square of Tevfikiye Village and head towards our hotel. This village, the closest settlement to the site, is being transformed into an archaeological village that preserves the spirit of the Troy era. The village squares, coffeehouses, and dispensaries are being renovated to reflect the Troy era. After a short drive, we arrive at our Çanakkale hotel, where we'll have dinner and stay overnight.

DAY 2: GALLIPOLI PENINSULA HISTORICAL NATIONAL PARK - KİLİTBAHİR CASTLE - CORPORAL SEYİT MONUMENT - MARTYRS' MEMORIAL - 57TH REGIMENT MARTYRS' CEMETERY - CONKBAYIRI - ANZAC COVE - 1915 CRESCENT AHMER HOSPITAL EXHIBITION

After breakfast, we head to the Gallipoli Peninsula Historical National Park to begin our intensely moving full-day Martyrs' Memorials tour. Established in 1973, our National Park is one of the most impressive places in our country. Monuments and memorials have been built to commemorate the thousands of casualties suffered during the Gallipoli Campaign, along with numerous war relics and artifacts from that era. We enter such an atmosphere that it's impossible not to feel the war and its aftermath. As you listen to our guide tell stories of sacrifice and heroism, you're bound to experience a multitude of emotions. Sometimes we feel sadness, sometimes pride, embarrassment at the sacrifices made, and then anger at the world order. The main places we'll visit that will evoke these feelings are Kilitbahir Castle, the Seyit Corporal Monument and the Mecidiye Bastions, the Çanakkale Martyrs' Memorial, and the 57th Regiment Martyrs' Memorial. Finally, we visit Conkbayırı, where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk gave the order to launch the attack. After our emotionally charged Martyrs' Memorial program, we'll take a panoramic view of Anzac Cove, also on the Gallipoli Peninsula, where the Anzacs landed during the Gallipoli Campaign, and listen to our guide's information. Then, for our final visit of the day, we'll visit one of the newly opened museums, the 1915 Hilali Ahmer Hospital Exhibition. During our visit, which will leave you with emotional moments and perhaps even bring you to tears, you'll see how mobile hospitals were used to treat soldiers wounded on the front lines during the Gallipoli Campaign. Audio reenactments in the exhibition areas will transport you back to those days, allowing you to experience the events more deeply. After completing our visit, we'll return to our hotel for dinner and overnight stay. ÇANAKKALE ACCOMMODATION (Kule Hotel)

DAY 3: TROJAN HORSE - ÇANAKKALE NAVAL MUSEUM - AYNALI BAZAAR - RETURN TO MARMARIS

After breakfast, we depart our hotel for the final visits of this special trip. After a short walk along the waterfront, we reach the Trojan Horse, a relic from the movie Troy, starring Brad Pitt, and gifted to Çanakkale after filming, and take some delightful photos. Afterward, we visit the Çanakkale Naval Museum, one of Çanakkale's must-see museums. Here, we'll also see the Ottoman-era Nusret Mine Ship and hear its story. Following our visit, we'll visit Aynalı Bazaar, the historic bazaar of our distinguished city, accompanied by the folk song "Aynalı Bazaar in Çanakkale." After some free time for shopping and exploring the bazaar, we'll meet back at our vehicle and head back to Marmaris with fond memories. After our stops along the way, we return to Marmaris, drop you off at our pick-up points, and say goodbye until we meet again on other tours.
