Quick answer: Gallipoli and Troy belong together geographically, but not at a frantic pace; the route is strongest when ancient and modern history each receive space.
Gallipoli is not a normal sightseeing route. The peninsula links battlefield geography, cemeteries, memorials and national memory, so the order of Anzac, Lone Pine, Chunuk Bair, Cape Helles or Turkish memorial stops changes how the story is understood. An overnight often turns the combination from a checkbox day into a route that can be remembered.
Check whether Troy Museum, Cape Helles or extra cemeteries are included, because each changes the balance.
