Gallipoli: A Legacy of Courage
The Gallipoli Peninsula is a place of deep meaning and remembrance. The battlefields of the Gallipoli Peninsula were the scene of one of World War I’s most significant campaigns. Walking among the trenches, memorials, and cemeteries of Anzac, British, and Allied forces provides a poignant and emotional connection to the courage and sacrifice of those who fought here. Key sites include Lone Pine, Chunuk Bair, Johnston’s Jolly, and the Helles Memorial, each telling its own story of endurance and valor.
Troy: The Mythical City of Homer
Step into the world of the Iliad at the legendary city of Troy. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Troy reveals thousands of years of history across its multiple layers of ruins. Visitors can stand beside the reconstructed city walls and explore the remains of the Bronze Age city that may have inspired the greatest epic of Western literature. See the iconic Trojan Horse, walk along the ancient city walls, and explore the archaeological remains that inspired Homer’s epic tales of Hector, Achilles, and Helen. It is a place where mythology and archaeology intertwine in a way that is truly unique.
Pergamon: A Pinnacle of Hellenistic Grandeur
Perched high above the modern town of Bergama, the Acropolis of Pergamon was once a great center of learning and culture in the ancient world. Marvel at the Altar of Zeus, explore the remains of the world-renowned Library, and witness the awe-inspiring Great Theater—the steepest theater of antiquity, offering breathtaking views of the plains below. Pergamon was also home to the Asklepion, an ancient healing center that served as a precursor to modern medicine. Pergamon’s archaeology offers deep insight into ancient Greek and Roman life.
