Journey to Troy Day Tour from Istanbul
1 day
Da sapere su questa attività
Your guide will confirm your exact meeting time – likely around 7am – and meet you in the lobby of your Istanbul hotel for the 4-hour, 15-minute drive to the waterfront town of Eceabat, where you'll savor a classic Turkish lunch in a local restaurant. After lunch, you'll hop across the Dardanelles by ferry, arriving in Canakkale for the hour-or-so drive to Troy.
Your first stop at the site will be the recreated Trojan Horse. Feel free to pose for photos, as your guide explains the legend of Troy: learn how the Greeks faked their departure and used the horse as a tool to make their way into Troy and capture the city. Discover the epic rivalry between Achilles and Hector, and learn about Helen, the legendary beauty whose face launched a thousand ships.
Next, it's time to explore the complex ruins of the city: the UNESCO-listed site dates back around 4,000 years and contains remains from many different eras. Marvel at the ancient city walls, which date back long before the fall of Troy over 3,000 years ago. See Roman ruins from its later incarnation as Ilion, including a concert hall, council house, and central theater. Let your imagination run wild as your guide retells stories from Troy.
Around 5:30pm, you'll begin your journey back to your Istanbul, arriving around 11pm.

Trip to Troy was good specially because of the explanation given by the Guide Hasan about the story of Helen of Troy, the 9 times city was destroyed and pointing the different key places of the extinct cities. His addition of explanantion about the significance of Dardanelles and the battle fought there added to the explanation.
