イスタンブールからのANZAC Dawn Serviceツアー

It was a dream come true to attend the dawn service at Gallipoli. If you're Australian, you must apply to get a permit to attend as there are limited places. Apply through Department of Veterans Affairs. Make sure you apply for an attendance pass. Without this, you will not be admitted. Aim to get to the Anzac site by 10pm on the 24th April when the gates open. Note that no persons are permitted onto site after 3am. If you're staying in Istanbul, you can catch the local bus to Escebat for under $30AUD. Then you can catch a taxi to the ANZAC meeting point where a free shuttle will take you to the site. To head back, you can do the same thing. The tour prices to go to the dawn service are, frankly, ludicrous when the bus is efficient and on time and costs are very reasonable. You must, however work out how to get to the main bus station from your hotel in Istanbul. We caught a cab. The atmosphere at ANZAC Cove, while sombre, was a celebration of keeping our diggers efforts alive and acknowledged. I am so grateful to have had this opportunity.
