Troy in the Canakkale Province, with lunch and restroom breaks on the way, and the guide will talk about Turkey, its history and the story of Troy along the way. Who can forget the famous ‘Wooden Horse’ story, where Queen Helen of Sparta eloped with Prince Paris and her enraged husband followed. Facing squarely across the Dardanelles to confront the imposing mass of Kilitbahir Fortress, Canakkale reminds one that this area has been a place of conflict since the time of the Trojan War. Nearby Troy, uncovered by archeologist Heinrich Schliemann in 1871 was of course the site of the most famous siege in history. Time has eroded most of the 3,500 year-old ruins, but you can imagine what Priam felt as he faced Achilles.
