Relive the glory of ancient Troy and uncover the myths and legends of Achilles, the Trojan Horse and Helen of Troy on this full-day tour from Istanbul, including lunch.

Spend time exploring the UNESCO-listed archaeological site and learning about the city’s long history, which dates back as early as 3500 BC. Don't forget to snap a photo by the iconic Trojan Horse statue!

Depart Istanbul early in the morning (06:00-06:30) from convenient meeting points in Taksim, Beşiktaş, Beyoğlu, Şişli, Ortaköy and Bebek. Hotel pick-ups are available from Sultanahmet, Beyazıd, Sirkeci, Laleli and Aksaray.

Upon arrival, lunch will be served on the roof of the Grand Eceabat Hotel, with stunning views of the Dardanelles as you dine. At 12.45, depart for Troy, and see the replica of the Trojan Horse from the movie “Troy” at the entrance to the legendary city.

Gaze on the remains of city walls that date back more than 3,000 years, and learn about landmark ruins and monuments, such as the Temple of Athena, Megaron House, and trench of Schliemann. Explore the death of Achilles near the Scaean Gate, and discover the site where the Trojan Horse was probably taken at the Gate of Troy VI.

You'll see a replica of the wooden horse, which you can climb into for a photo. Visit the excavation information centre, which holds exhibits from the work underway, and witness the fortification walls of Troy Vl with its tower and gateway entrance.
