Day 2
Most of the travel agencies who organise tours to Gallipoli they only organise half day tours to see the Anzac sector but we plan to complete your pillgramage by showing the north and the south sector. The south sector also known as cape helles region where mostly British, French,Turks and some Anzac Soldiers Battles areas. Although the south Sector not much famous, most of the casualties during the Gallipoli Campaign occured here at the south sector. At the south sector beside the British, French and Turkish graves you can also visit the forgotten Anzac Heroes Graves. So our aim to organise this tour to show equal respect all the soldiers who lost their lives during the campaign.
