:?: :?: We have been to icemeler 10 times since 1989. Of all the tours we have been on we have always wanted to visit gallipoli on a tour from icemeler. I had a uncle that was killed at Sulva Bay. It has been my ambition to visit this memorial at Hill 10 and pay our respects.
has anyone been on such a trip from icemeler. if so how long does it take. and who will organise th trip.

We had a few days at Canakele last year ken and you get the car ferry from there across the straights.

We could arrange a couple of days up there for you if you like and if you can hire a car from us and drive yourself then all the better.

Be prepared for a surreal experience at Galipoli

Tours to that area are very expensive usually Ken and may be better letting the members here investigate the route by bus and then we can arrange a hotel there for you then its just a case of the ferry over the straights which is onlt 15 minutes and then picking either a cab or a tour up over in Galipoli.
