About This Tour

Embark on an epic adventure by visiting the legendary ancient city of Troy. Start your trip with a pickup from your hotel in central Istanbul. You’ll descend to the town of Eceabat, where you’ll feast on a delicious meal at a local restaurant.

After lunch, you’ll wander among the ancient ruins of the city where the Ancient Greek story, the Iliad, took place. Stop by the magnificent remains of many architectural wonders such as the Odeon, a stage where poetry recitals and music shows were held; the ruins of the Temple of Athena; and the Bouleuterion, where political matters were discussed. You’ll witness ongoing excavations and a towering replica of the Trojan Horse.

Throughout the tour, you’ll be accompanied by an English-speaking guide who will entertain you with stories and commentary about Troy; you’ll glimpse into Turkey’s past and learn more about Greek mythology.

You’ll even embark on a ferry ride across the Dardanelles Strait, which forms part of the border between Europe and Asia — you’ll be between two continents at the same time! After the tour, you’ll be brought back to your hotel; sit back, relax, and savor this profound experience on the way back.
