Ready for a journey through the echoes of history?
Located within the borders of Çanakkale, Troy and Gallipoli are two remarkable destinations that together offer a journey through both the mythical depths of ancient history and the poignant memories of modern warfare. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the ancient city of Troy is famously known as the setting of the Trojan War described in Homer’s Iliad, where visitors can explore remnants of ancient walls, temple ruins, and a striking replica of the legendary wooden horse—stepping right into the heart of mythology. In contrast, the Gallipoli Peninsula preserves the solemn legacy of the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I, with powerful sites such as Anzac Cove, the 57th Infantry Regiment Memorial, Chunuk Bair, and the Çanakkale Martyrs’ Memorial. Together, Troy and Gallipoli present a unique route where history and nature intertwine, offering travelers a deeply reflective and emotionally powerful experience.
