Troy & Gallipoli Full-Day Tour from Canakkale

7 Hours
  • 1

Overview

Legends feel close enough to touch as your guide leads the group from Çanakkale into the world of Troy, where myth, archaeology, and human ambition are layered beneath your feet. Standing before the symbolic Trojan Horse, you’ll trace the story beyond Homer’s epic into ancient city walls, ritual spaces, homes, councils, theatres, and excavation trenches revealing Troy I to Troy IX. The experience then widens across the water to the solemn landscapes of the Gallipoli Peninsula, where windswept beaches and quiet cemeteries hold the memory of courage, sacrifice, and reconciliation. At ANZAC Cove, Lone Pine Australian Memorial, The Nek, and Chunuk Bair, your guide’s storytelling brings powerful context to the ridges, memorials, and battle sites shared by generations of visitors. With hotel pickup in Çanakkale, ferry crossings, lunch, and guided sightseeing handled, you can simply listen, reflect, and connect with two of Turkey’s most emotionally resonant places—one born from legend, the other from living memory.
