We set off at the specified nighttime hours and head to Çanakkale. With the breaks we will have on the way and the refreshments distributed on the vehicle (breakfast package, hot and cold refreshments), we arrive in Çanakkale. In the morning, our first stop will be Kilitbahir Castle and Namazgâh Forts. After these panoramic points, we visit the Rumeli Mecidiye Fort martyrs' cemetery and the statue of Seyit Onbaşı, where perhaps one of the turning points of the Gallipoli Campaign took place, when our heroic private Seyit Onbaşı lifted the shell and struck the Ocean ship at the turret mechanism. After our visits here, we pay a visit to the Şahindere Martyrs' Cemetery, a martyr's cemetery, and commemorate our heroes who were martyred in the Şahindere area at this cemetery, which is stylized in the shape of a crescent and star, and whose triangular pyramid structure represents our martyrs' ascension to Allah.
Visit to the Alçıtepe Hospital Museum, which reveals what the heroic soldiers of the Çanakkale Wars experienced throughout the war, where the fallen are recreated with mannequins. Then we visit the Çanakkale Martyrs' Memorial, built for our heroic Turkish soldiers in memory of the approximately 250,000 casualties given in the Çanakkale Wars. After our free time and photo break at the Monument, we see Morto Bay, a landing beach in the 1915 Çanakkale battles, and the French Cemetery, and then visit Ertuğrul Bay and the Yahya Çavuş Monument. Ertuğrul Bay was one of the 5 bays where the British carried out a landing operation on 25 April 1915 in the Seddülbahir region during the Çanakkale land battles, and here we listen to our guide's informative narration of the stories of Yahya Çavuş and his soldiers, who were tasked with protecting this bay, and take photos. After our photo break, we see the Helles Memorial (British Monument), erected both for the Çanakkale Wars and in memory of the 20,763 people who died in these wars and whose graves are unknown or lost or buried in the waters of Gallipoli. After the visit to Ertuğrul Bay and Yahya Çavuş, we head to Alçıtepe Village for lunch (extra). After the meal and free time we will have in the village, we now proceed to the Northern Front.
When the 25 April Land Battles began, we arrive at the 57th Infantry Regiment Martyrs' Cemetery, which wrote its name in golden letters in history as the first regiment to face the enemy and which symbolizes all our heroic soldiers and regiments. After that, we visit Conkbayırı, where during the bayonet charge on 10 August 1915, a shell fragment struck his chest and shattered the watch on his heart. Here we listen from our guide to the story of the moment when Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's watch was shattered. After our guide's informative explanations, we meet on the bus to go to the hotel where we will stay.
