Lunch With A View

Embark on a journey into the history of the Trojan War and uncover the captivating tales of Helen of Troy, Achilles, and Homer. Your enthralling day tour, steeped in the legends of Greek mythology, begins with an early morning departure from central Istanbul in an air-conditioned bus. Upon your arrival, treat your taste buds to a delectable lunch served at a local restaurant in Eceabat, boasting breathtaking views of the Dardanelles. At 12:45pm, depart for the legendary city of Troy on a ferry, where you are welcomed by the enormous replica of the Trojan Horse, featured in the movie Troy, at the entrance.

The City Of Troy

At Troy, behold the ancient city walls, dating back over 3,000 years, and explore the iconic ruins and monuments, including the Temple of Athena, Megaron House, and Schliemann's trench. Venture into the site of Achilles' demise near the Scaean Gate and the location where the Trojan Horse was likely taken at the Gate of Troy VI. Immerse in the tales of the past with the in-depth narration by your English-speaking guide. Marvel at the remains of the Roman Bath and discover the site of the city's music and poetry performances at the Odeon. Visit the ruins of the Bouleuterion, where the council of citizens would convene and gain insight into the daily life of the city at the remains of the Agora marketplace. Your tour of the ruins concludes at 5pm, followed by a transfer back to Istanbul at 6pm and a hotel drop-off at approximately 11pm.
