A-Day-Trip to Legendary Troy

Trip from Istanbul to Troy where the true land of battle and gallantry became a legend. Where the heroes and mythological figures fought each other.

This trip will take you to the shores of the Dardanelles, where the famous “Gentlemen’s War” was fought between the Ottoman and Anzac troops during the WW1. Crossing the Dardanelles by ferry, and to the site of Troy. You will become a part of Homer’s legends, seeing the symbolic Trojan horse, City walls, Athena Temple and the Odeon.

Dardanelles (/dɑːrdəˈnɛlz/; Turkish: Çanakkale Boğazı, lit. ‘Strait of Çanakkale’, Greek: Δαρδανέλλια, romanized: Dardanéllia), also known from Classical Antiquity as the Hellespont (/ˈhɛlɪspɒnt/; Classical Greek: Ἑλλήσποντος, romanized: Hellēspontos, lit. ‘Sea of Helle’), is a narrow, natural strait and internationally significant waterway in northwestern Turkey that forms part of the continental boundary between Europe and Asia, and separates Asian Turkey from European Turkey. One of the world’s narrowest straits used for international navigation, the Dardanelles connects the Sea of Marmara with the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas, while also allowing passage to the Black Sea by extension via the Bosphorus.

Troy was the setting of the Trojan War described in the Greek Epic Cycle, in particular in the Iliad, one of the two epic poems attributed to Homer. Metrical evidence from the Iliad and the Odyssey suggests that the name Ἴλιον (Ilion) formerly began with a digamma: Ϝίλιον (Wilion);[note 3] this is also supported by the Hittite name for what is thought to be the same city, Wilusa.
