TROY AND ITS SURROUNDINGS

|
HITITIAN SEAL FOUND IN THE SITE |
Troy is a fascinating site. But to understand it you need a
bit of imagination. I can bring it to life for you and make you love Troy.
The Iliad and the Odyssey
are a ‘must’ if you want to get the most out of Troy.But if you haven’t read them before you came don’t worry- you will certainly want to when
you leave.

The surroundings
of Troy,which we call ‘the Homeric landscape’,are as interesting
as Troy itself .The RiverScamander , the River Simois ,Mount Ida, where the first beauty contest of the Universe took place,Beşik
Bay where the Greeks probably landed 3000 years ago and the island of Tenedos,opposite
the harbour ,The tumuli on the horizons of Troy,so called ACHILLEION,the tomb
of Ajax are all places of interest.The abandoned Granite Quarries with their huge monolithic columns are matchless in the
world and await your discovery.

The Roman aqueduct is 14 km away from the ruins of Troy. How about ASSOS and ALEXANDRİA TROAS? Or perheps
you would like to see APOLLO SMINTHEION where the temple of Apollo stands.
