The legendary city of Troy is located near the modern city of Canakkale, on the northearnmost part of the city.
The first inhabitants, Mediterraneans, of the legendary city of Troy dwelled in this tiny town. Their ancient
culture which was western and unrelated to Central Anatolia will leave a remarkable presence in the Bronze Age.
This village on top of a hill, overlooking the blue of the Eagean Sea has been the target of the people from the
other coast of the sea. Troy is the scene of the mythical Trojan wars, the first multinational war. And it will
be conquered many times, destroyed by earthquakes and rebuilt throughout milleniums.
Today, the site does not offer much to see for the average traveler, but it is a nice experience to see one of
the most important historical scenes in the world.
If you are traveling in that region, you can visit Ayvalik and
Pergamon.
