Turkey🇹🇷World Heritage Site! A thorough explanation of the Trojan Horse and the Troy ruins! 🐎🏛️

#Traveling abroad When you hear "Trojan Horse," you tend to think of it as a myth, but in fact, there is a real ruin in Canakkale, Turkey, where the Trojan War took place! I've put together my tips for visiting Troy from my perspective✈️!! 📍Access & Sightseeing Tips🚗 ✈️ Nearest airport: About 5 hours by domestic flight + bus from Istanbul (IST) ⛴ Ferry: Access is also possible from Kusadasi and Izmir on the Aegean coast 🚗 For individual travel, renting a car is convenient! (For tours, there are also day trip plans from Istanbul◎) It was really far away lol I took the ferry from another tourist spot! 💡 Best season: Spring (April-June) & Autumn (September-November) 🌿☀️ (Hot in summer, windy in winter) 🎟️ Must-see points for visiting Troy 🏛️ 🐎 "Trojan Horse" replica (Entrance to ruins & Canakkale city) → There is a wooden horse you can climb at the entrance 📸 But it's not the real thing, so don't get too excited! 🏺 Troy ruins (World Heritage Site) → Nine-story city ruins have been excavated, the oldest of which dates back to 3000 BC! → A guide or prior research is essential for sightseeing! (There are few explanatory boards, and if you don't know the history, it just looks like rubble) 🎬 Wooden horse from the movie "Troy" (Canakkale city) → A realistic wooden horse used in the 2004 movie is on display along the coast! 💡 Overseas travel strategy: Tips for enjoying Troy to the fullest! ✅ Tours are convenient: A one-day tour from Istanbul (round-trip bus + guide included) is easy 🚌 ✅ History preparation is essential: Watching "The Iliad" or the movie "Troy" in advance will double the fun! 📖🎬 ✅ Visit the ruins in the morning or evening (the sun is strong during the day and there is little shade, so it's hot! ☀️) ✅ Wear comfortable clothes (there are many unpaved roads within the ruins, so sneakers are recommended 👟) ✅ Recommended to combine with a tour of Canakkale! (The historical spots of the Gallipoli Peninsula and the Dardanelles are also interesting) Troy is a deep spot for "history lovers"! To be honest, the Troy ruins are not a "flashy tourist spot for beginners", but a recommended place for history lovers and those who like to visit ruins. If you get information in advance and visit with a guide, you will have a deeper understanding and enjoy it! 🏛️✨ If you want to visit the place where myth and reality intersect during your trip to Türkiye, be sure to visit Troy!
