Description
Troy Ancient City Fought over for thousands of years & included now on UNESCO’s World Cultural Heritage list, Troy continues to inspire us with its history. Over the millennia the Dardanelles strait has been the scene of countless wars owing to its strategic position between two continents (Europe & Asia) & two seas (the Mediterranean & the Black Sea). From the Trojan War, thought to have taken place in 1180 B.C. & chronicled by the Anatolian epic poet Homer in his immortal Iliad, to the Battle of Gallipoli in the First World War, the purpose has always been the same: to rule East & West by controlling the Dardanelles.

Personal Troy Tour
This was a great tour. The guide was a local that lived near the site and he was extremely knowledgeable about the site and the area. We got to talk to the archeologists that are currently working this site because the guide knew them. I would highly recommend this tour especially if you want a more personal experience.
