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

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

#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. Troy’s ruins, dating back over 3,000 years, offer a fascinating glimpse into the ancient city that inspired Homer's epic Iliad. The site is a maze of ancient walls, gates, and buildings, and as you wander through, you can almost imagine the great warriors and gods of legend walking these very streets. 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. Whether you’re a fan of history, mythology, or simply love exploring ancient places, Troy offers a unique and memorable experience. Tip: Don’t miss the Troy Museum, located nearby, where you can see fascinating artefacts and learn more about the city’s rich history and cultural significance. #Troy #AncientHistory #TrojanHorse #TravelTurkey #Mythology #ArchaeologicalSites #UNESCOHeritage #HistoricalWonders #TravelBlogger #WanderlustTurkey
