100 Year Anniversary Commemorative Tour 16 days. Departing New Zealand 14 - 29 April 2015
A special Journey
The opportunity for New Zealanders and Australians to remember their forebears who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during world War I. Mark the 100th anniversary of Anzac Day and the National Day of Remembrance in New Zealand and Australia to honour the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACS) who fought with bravery on the Peninsular. We return to honour the Anzac Day pledge "We will remember them"
The Innovative Travel Company is proud to offer you an unrivalled journey taking in the highlights of Turkey. Starting in Istanbul, visiting the capital Ankara, the surreal areas of Cappadocia, the limestone terraces of Pamukkale, the UNESCO site of Ephesus and ending with the highlight of attending the Dawn Services at Gallipoli for the 100th anniversary commemorations, side by side with fellow New Zealand and Australian countrymen and dignitaries.
The visit also presents a chance to see the historical places our soldiers saw and to learn much more of the great civilisation of Turkey, in a spectacular combination of famous and honourable sites. This special journey is for those who want something more than a brief tour to traditional destinations. It will require fortitude and fascination, and an eagerness to take the trip of a lifetime.
Early registration is essential to secure your place for this once in a lifetime event.
