Troy Day Trip from Istanbul

Overview

Leaving Istanbul before dawn, you'll travel in an air-conditioned vehicle across the Turkish countryside to Eceabat for lunch, then continue to the UNESCO-listed ruins of Troy for a fully guided afternoon among one of archaeology's most famous sites.

Your professional English-speaking guide unravels the layers of nine successive cities, from the Houses of Troy I dating back to 3000 B.C. to the Bouleuterium and Odeon of later eras. You'll walk beside the 3,700-year-old city walls, see sacrificial altars and excavations still in progress, and pose at the famous Trojan Horse replica.

This shared group tour suits history lovers, Homer enthusiasts and anyone short on time in Turkey who wants Troy done properly in a single day, with pick-up and drop-off at your Istanbul hotel.
