An ancient settlement off the coast of the Aegean Sea. This landmark was sung in his "Iliad" even by Homer. Troy was best known for the Trojan War. This ancient Greek city is included in the version of our site.
Many tourists are interested in this archaeological site of modern Turkey. In order to get to Troy, you must first get to Canakalle. From there, buses leave hourly to Troy. The road will take about half an hour. In turn, you can come to Canakalla by buses from Izmir or Istanbul. In both cases, the distance is about 320 km.
The German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann was the first to become interested in the excavations of Troy in the second half of the 19th century. It was under his leadership that the ruins of nine cities around the Hisarlik hill were found. Moreover, many ancient artifacts and one very ancient fortress were found. Schliemann's long-term work was continued by one of his colleagues, who excavated a vast area dating back to the Mycenaean era. This site is still being excavated.
Today in Troy there is little that can catch the eye of the traveler. However, the atmosphere of the greatest fairy tale in the world invariably hovers in this city. At the moment, the restoration of the famous Trojan horse has been fully completed. This attraction is located on a panoramic platform.
