Why Visit Troya and How to Get There?

  • The Mythological City: Troya is a mesmerizing UNESCO World Heritage site known globally through the epic tales of Homer. You absolutely must walk through the nine distinct historical layers of this ancient settlement and take incredible photos with the massive replica of the Trojan Horse right at the entrance.

  • The Culinary Highlight: The Çanakkale region perfectly blends deep history with incredible regional gastronomy. For a true local experience, you absolutely must try Peynir Helvası, an incredibly delicious sweet cheese dessert baked to perfection. You should also taste the famous white Ezine Peyniri, a highly savory regional cheese praised all over the country.

  • Arrival and Scenic Road Trips: Getting to this stunning highlight is incredibly simple. You can fly directly into Balıkesir Edremit Airport (EDO), which serves as the absolute best gateway to the region. From the airport, a highly scenic one and a half hour drive north brings you directly to the ancient ruins. Alternatively, you can fly into İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) for a longer, spectacular coastal drive. By adding a rental car to your package, you ensure maximum comfort and independence right from your arrival.

  • The Perfect Travel Hub: Troya is the ultimate starting point for further Aegean discoveries. From here, you can easily drive your rental car to the charming harbor of Geyikli to catch a quick ferry over to the beautiful island of Bozcaada, or head south to explore the stunning hilltop ruins of Assos.
