Troy & Gallipoli Tour: 9 Ancient Cities & ANZAC BattlefieldsThis full-day tour from Canakkale combines two of Turkey's most significant historical sites: Troy, where nine successive cities lie stacked atop one another, and the Gallipoli Peninsula, where the 1915 ANZAC campaign left its mark across battlefields and cemeteries.
