WW1 Istanbul & Gallipoli

Departures : 29 September / 6 October

Experience a WW1 Gallipoli battlefield tour from Ireland, exploring Istanbul, Anzac Cove, Suvla Bay, the Gallipoli Peninsula and more..

This WW1 Gallipoli battlefield tour from Ireland offers a meaningful opportunity to explore one of the most significant campaigns of the First World War. Guided by a professional historian, you will gain a deeper understanding of the Gallipoli campaign and Ireland’s wider connection to the conflict.

For many Irish men, Gallipoli is more than a chapter in a book, it’s a name that echoes with sacrifice, courage and untold hardship. This tour offers the chance to finally visit the battlefield where so many soldiers fought.

You’ll explore Istanbul’s great monuments, walk through ancient Troy and stand on the cliffs of Anzac Cove and Suvla Bay. At sites like V Beach, the Helles Memorial and Green Hill Cemetery, the history becomes real. For those with family ties, military interest, or a desire to understand Ireland’s place in WWI beyond the Western Front, this tour delivers depth and perspective, not just dates and names.

You’ll travel with a small Irish group, with GTI Travel taking care of your flights, transfers and hotel. That leaves more time to reflect, connect and fully enjoy the experience. Whether it’s a personal pilgrimage, a shared interest with a friend or something you’ve always meant to do, this is a journey worth taking.
