• Troy (Truva) - Day 2: Çanakkale – Troy – Istanbul (B) After breakfast at the hotel, embark on a coach journey to ancient Troy, located about 30 minutes away.

Steeped in legend, this UNESCO-listed archaeological site is the location of ancient Troy, a city once thought to be a creation of the poet Homer for his epic, The Iliad, until its discovery in 1793. The city is renowned for the Trojan War of the 13th or 12th century BC, where after a decade-long siege by Greek forces, it was captured by soldiers hidden inside a massive wooden horse.

Marvel at the ancient ruins and artifacts as the guide shares the city’s history, including the Greek myth of the Trojan prince (Paris) whose elopement with Zeus’ daughter (Helen) sparked the war. Visitors will also see the large replica wooden horse that commemorates the city’s storied past.

After the tour, return to Çanakkale and enjoy the afternoon at leisure. Consider having lunch (at own cost) at one of the many appealing restaurants, exploring other attractions in the town, or shopping for souvenirs.

At approximately 6pm, board the coach for the return journey to Istanbul, concluding the tour with a hotel drop-off in the late evening.
