the movie so you get a feel for the type
of people who fought in this war and to

ago. This afternoon on a fully guided

Day Three: 24th April -
Relax at Thermal Resort
Today you have the opportunity to see
and enjoy the rural side of Turkey. You
don’t need to wake up early in the
morning as we will leave after breakfast
for Tahtakuşlar. Here you can observe
the ideal Turkish village life of nomads
as you look around the only village
museum in Turkey (awarded by Unesco). In
this museum there are objects about the
fauna & flora of Turkey and all the
handcrafted nomadic arts are displayed.
Turkish people are Nomadic in origin but
today most of them have settled on the
top of mountains. There are more than
40,000 nomadic villages and tribes in
Turkey and one of them is the
picturesque village of Çamlibel which is
on the skirts of mythological Olympos
Mountain (today’s Mount Ida). They are
waiting for you here to show you the
famous Turkish hospitality and
friendship. A guest is a king in Turkey
therefore you will be made welcome with
food and drink while you relax. In the
afternoon we head back to the hotel to
enjoy the rest of the day. Make sure you
get plenty of rest because ANZAC day
will be a long busy day. A buffet dinner
will be served so you can fill up before
departing for Gallipoli late afternoon.
We arrive at Anzac Cove to ensure we get
a good spot for the dawn service. Don't
forget your sleeping bags, warm clothes,
wet weather gear and torches because
Gallipoli is still as dark and cold
tonight as it was 93 years ago when your
ancestors landed.
