Gallipoli is one of the most significant battlefields of the First World War — a peninsula in northwestern Turkey where, in 1915, over half a million soldiers from eight nations fought in one of history’s most consequential and costly campaigns. Prometheus Tour has been organising private Gallipoli tours from Istanbul since 2011, serving travellers from Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and beyond who come to pay their respects, understand the history, and stand on the ground where it happened
What Does a Private Gallipoli Tour Include?
Our Gallipoli tours depart from Istanbul by private, air-conditioned vehicle and cover the full Gallipoli Peninsula Battlefields across a single long day or an overnight programme. Every tour is led by an English-speaking, licensed battlefield guide with specialist knowledge of the 1915 campaign.

Find quick answers to the most common questions about our Gallipoli Tours
How Far Is Gallipoli from Istanbul?
The Gallipoli Peninsula (Gelibolu Yarımadası) is approximately 330 km southwest of Istanbul — roughly a 4.5-hour drive via the Trans-European Motorway (E80) and the Çanakkale ferry crossing. Our vehicles are Mercedes-Benz E-Class, V-Class, or Sprinter depending on group size, all with Wi-Fi, bottled water, and professional chauffeurs.
Can I visit Gallipoli from Istanbul in one day?
Yes. A day tour is demanding but achievable — departing at 06:00 and returning around 22:00. We recommend the overnight option if you want to spend genuine time at each site rather than moving quickly.
What language is the tour conducted in?
English by default. French, German, and Turkish-language guides are available on request.
Is This Theme Compatible with Popular Plugins?
Yes, the theme is built to be compatible with a wide range of popular WordPress plugins, including SEO tools, e-commerce plugins, and page builders like Elementor. This ensures you can extend your website's functionality with ease.
Do I need to book in advance?
For standard day tours, 48–72 hours' notice is sufficient outside peak season. For Anzac Day (25 April) and summer months (June–August), book several months ahead.
