Troy Tours and Tickets

Q: What is the history of Troy in Turkey?

Troy, an ancient city in Turkey, is the legendary setting of the Trojan War in Homer’s Iliad. The actual city dates back to 3500 BC and features seven layers of civilizations. Archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann led excavations in the 19th century, destroying many ruins in pursuit of treasures. In 1998, Troy was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Q: How do I get to Troy from Istanbul?

To reach Troy from Istanbul, you can take a bus, car, or join a guided tour that includes transportation. The journey by road is approximately 5–6 hours. Direct buses run from Istanbul’s main bus terminals to Çanakkale several times throughout the day. From the Çanakkale city center, you have to take a taxi or dolmuş (public minibus) to the archaeological site.

Q: What are the opening hours of the Troy archaeological site?

The Troy archaeological site is open 8:30am to 7:30pm from April to October and from 8:30am to 5:30pm from November to March. If you visit during the spring or autumn, try to time your visit with sunset when the colorful sky illuminates the ruins.

Q: What can I see at the archaeological site of Troy?

The Troy archaeological complex offers a chance to explore 4,000 years of history, including the citadel’s defensive walls, visible layers of the city’s nine rebuildings, and bastions. Other BC highlights include the replica of the wooden Trojan Horse, the Temple of Athena, a Roman odeion, and an assembly house.

Q: Are there any other attractions near Troy?

Major attractions close to Troy include the Gallipoli Peninsula, where the infamous World War I Gallipoli Campaign took place, and the Troy Museum. The nearby city of Çanakkale has a naval museum, Martyrs' Memorial, the Rhapsodos Mosaic Museum, and the wooden horse used in the 2004 film Troy.

Good Trip

I traveled with my family, but I was under a different booking as I was a solo traveler. Well organize, friendly guides.. The one night accommodation was a nice hotel in the central of town. They gave us a lot of time at the Troy Museum, more than we needed. Nice, comfortable, clean mini bus.

Dardanelles: from 1 straight to the other .

It seemed a bit hectic all the changes of vehicles , but it was actually very well planned, and they were very responsible, carefully checking who went where. Personally I liked a lot crossing the Dardanelles. Lunch was good; better yet with close feline companionship ( this is Türkiye!). At Troy/ Truva/Troia ( you choose ) the guide was very thorough. A little tiresome to stand in the sun, listening, but young people probably didn't care. Beautiful views of Marmara sea & Dardanelles.

Istanbul to Gallipoli, Canakkale and Troy. 2 Day Tour with Hotel

Great Experience

We had an incredible 2-day experience, starting with a 6:30 AM pickup from Istanbul. We traveled on a minibus (17 passengers in a 20-seater), with a 45-minute stop for coffee at a gas station about 2.5 hours into the journey. After another 2.5 hours, we arrived at our starting point, checked in, and had lunch before heading to Gallipoli around 12:30 PM. While not far distance-wise, the Gallipoli tour lasted 3 hours, and offered a look at the many battlefields and cemeteries. It was a moving, especially for the Australians in our group. The highlight was definitely our guide, Chuck. He possessed incredible historical knowledge, balancing detailed history with independent time. He read the group well and added warm-hearted insights throughout. We arrived back at the check-in point around 5 PM and took the ferry over to Asia, where we had from 5:30 PM until 12:30 PM the next day to explore on our own. Our hotel, the Artur, was better than expected and in a perfect location. The only minor improvement would be the breakfast, which was somewhat lackluster (though perhaps just cultural). At 12:30 PM on the second day, we met our next guide for the tour of Troy. I loved his storytelling, like Chuck, he found the right balance and provided fascinating theories. I can best describe exploring Troy as being like visiting Pompeii and learning history through the excavations. This tour felt shorter but was still well worth it. We left around 3:30 PM to catch the ferry back, boarded the bus to Istanbul, took a 30-minute break, and returned to our hotel around 8:30 PM. Overall, this was an excellent "off the beaten path" excursion. While you could do it on your own, the tour company handled every detail.
