The Legendary Ancient City
Troy
Home of Homer’s Iliad and the famous wooden horse, Troy layers nine cities of history into one unforgettable UNESCO archaeological site.
Where to Go
Troy
For centuries Troy was thought to be pure myth — until archaeologists uncovered not one but nine cities stacked on top of each other, spanning more than three thousand years. Today you can walk the ancient walls where Homer set the Trojan War, trace the foundations of temples and houses, and pose beside a giant wooden horse recalling the legend that ended the siege.
The excellent Troy Museum nearby brings the story vividly to life with treasures and interactive displays. Often combined with the moving WWI memorials of Gallipoli across the strait, Troy is a fascinating stop on northern Turkey tours.
