Travel back to the legendary days of the Trojan War and explore the historic city of Truva on this comprehensive full day excursion from Istanbul. This immersive journey allows visitors to walk through the remnants of a civilization that has captivated historians and poets for millennia. By visiting these ancient grounds, you will gain a deeper understanding of the myths surrounding Helen of Troy, the mighty Achilles, and the epic tales famously chronicled by the poet Homer.

Your exploration includes the Temple of Athena, the Megaron House, and the famous trench of Schliemann. You will also stand near the Scaean Gate to contemplate the death of Achilles and visit the Gate of Troy VI, which is widely believed to be the site where the iconic Trojan Horse was brought into the city.

The tour continues through the ruins of the Roman Bath and the Odeon, where citizens once gathered for music shows and poetry readings. You will also visit the Bouleuterion, the site where the city council held their important meetings, and the Agora, which served as the bustling marketplace for everyday life.

The tour officially wraps up at the ruins by late afternoon, followed by a comfortable transfer back to Istanbul. You will arrive at your hotel by late evening, carrying with you the memories of a profound historical experience that bridges the gap between ancient mythology and the reality of modern archaeological discovery.
