Private Troy Day Tour from Istanbul

Early morning pick-up from your Istanbul hotel around 07:00 AM. Board your private air-conditioned vehicle and begin the scenic drive toward the Dardanelles region, crossing through the beautiful Thracian countryside.

Arrive in Eceabat around 11:00 AM and enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the strait. After lunch, take the ferry from Eceabat to Canakkale, crossing the iconic Dardanelles Strait (approximately 30 minutes).

Upon arrival in Canakkale, drive to the ancient city of Troy, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. Your private English-speaking guide will lead you through the remarkable ruins, where nine distinct layers of civilization have been uncovered by archaeologists.

Explore the massive 3,700-year-old city walls, the sacrificial altars, the Senate building (Bouleuterium), and the ancient concert hall (Odeon). See the iconic replica of the Trojan Horse and imagine the legendary events described in Homer’s Iliad. Visit the state-of-the-art Troy Museum, home to an impressive collection of artifacts spanning thousands of years of history.

After approximately 3.5 hours at Troy, begin the return journey to Istanbul with a dinner break along the way. Arrive back at your Istanbul hotel around 21:30.
