[2025 Istanbul Attraction] Travel Guide for Troy (Updated Jul)

The Trojan Horse, according to legend, everyone knows it from the famous Hollywood movie. The real legendary wooden horse doesn't need to be talked about because it's been around for a thousand years. But the one you see is the real one that was created for filming in the famous movie, transported all the way from Hollywood. The current location is not the former Troy city. The real location is far outside the city, but the reason it was brought here is because it's a more suitable tourist spot than the original Troy city. #Turkey #NotTrojanHorse

The Troy Horse is probably the most famous and visited place in the city of Canakkale. The recommended sightseeing time is half an hour or maximum one hour. This is the actual Trojan horse used in the movie Troy in 2004. I recommend to plan this activity close to the sunset. It is really beautiful to see the amazing colors in the sky. So do your research in advance about the exact time for the sunset during your visit. This place is open 24 hours. #createwithtrip #turkey #holidays #exploring #createwithtrip

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip A trip to touch the world of myth at the Troy ruins, a place where legends sleep. The Troy ruins, known for the "Trojan Horse," are a world-famous place as the setting of Greek mythology. Located in northwestern Turkey, it is a valuable ruin that proves that the legendary city that appears in Homer's epic poem "Iliad" actually existed. The ruins have multiple layers, and you can see the changes in the city since 3000 BC. There is also a huge replica of the "Trojan Horse" on site, which is also popular as a photogenic spot 📸 As you walk, you will be enveloped in a mysterious feeling where history and myth intersect, imagining "Did heroes run through this land..." If you visit with your partner, you can share the romantic world of myth, and even if you travel alone, you can enjoy a time to immerse yourself in history. I couldn't stop being moved and excited, wondering, "Is this really Troy?" ✨ 🚗Access The nearest city is Çanakkale. About 30 minutes by car from Canakkale city. About 6 hours by bus or car from Istanbul. There is also a museum around the ruins, so it is recommended to visit both.

#springitinerary Nestled in the heart of the Çanakkale province, Troy (known as Truva in Turkish) is a legendary archaeological site that brings to life the ancient myths of the Trojan War. If you’ve ever heard of the famous story of the Trojan Horse or the tragic love of Paris and Helen, visiting Troy is like stepping straight into a world of myths, history, and mystery.

The city walls are particularly impressive, and the famous Troy VI and Troy VII layers are where scholars believe the ancient city once stood. One of the highlights of Troy is the massive replica of the Trojan Horse. Standing proudly near the entrance, it reminds visitors of the clever trick that ended the war. You can even climb inside the wooden horse, a perfect photo op for those wanting to feel like a character in an ancient tale. The site is also a UNESCO World Heritage site, preserving the ruins and artefacts that give us a window into the Bronze Age civilization.

#Troy is the most anticipated place in my trip to Türkiye. It allows me to live in the fantasy of history, legend and reality since childhood. I started writing the third article "The Belly of the Historical Butterfly - Türkiye". Why did I change the name? The reason is Türkiye It occupies an important geographical location connecting Europe and Asia, and is also the only city spanning Europe and Asia. The European and Asian plates are separated by the #Bosporus Strait (#İstanbul Boğazı), just like the wings of a butterfly, and this place where Eastern and Western cultures merge, let me call it the belly of the butterfly! ##Troy, located in northwestern Turkey, is an important city in ancient Greek mythology and is famous for being mentioned in Homer's epics Iliad and Odyssey. Let us explore this ancient site today and savor the mysterious legend. The ruins of the ancient city of Troy are divided into nine levels, each level represents a city in a different period. The most well-known of these is the Trojan Six, the Troy of the Iliad. The most famous check-in point in the site is the Trojan Horse, a huge wooden statue based on the story in Homer's epic. It is said that the ancient Greeks used this wooden horse trick to break into the city of Troy and end the Trojan War. In addition to the Trojan horse, there are many other ancient buildings worth seeing in the Troy ruins, such as magnificent city walls, temples, theaters, etc. With the detailed explanation of the tour guide, we seemed to travel through time and space and returned to the distant ancient Greece.
