Istanbul to Çanakkale via Gallipoli
What happens today depends on whether tours are allowed on April 24. If they are, you'll leave early for the Gallipoli tour, then take the ferry to Çanakkale for some rest at your hotel. Around midnight, you'll head back across the ferry to Anzac Cove, getting there around 1:00am for the Dawn Service.
