This 3-day Troy tour from Canakkale combines a relaxed stay on the shores of the Dardanelles with a fully guided visit to the ancient city of Troy, the setting of the first great war between East and West in recorded legend. You are welcomed at Canakkale Airport and transferred to your hotel, with the rest of the first day free to enjoy Canakkale at your own pace – its lively waterfront promenade, harbour cafes and views across the strait make it a pleasant base for exploring the region.
The heart of the trip is the guided tour of Troy (Truva), a site with around 5,000 years of history and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998; in 2018, the twentieth anniversary of that listing, Turkey declared the Year of Troy. Your visit begins at the giant Wooden Horse near the entrance, a reminder of the famous trick that ended one of the longest wars in history. Walking through the excavations with a professional English-speaking guide, you learn how the city was burned and destroyed nine times and rebuilt each time on the very same spot, leaving layer upon layer of walls, gates and houses. The guide's stories of the Trojans, the siege and the heroes of Homer's epic bring the ruins vividly to life.
On the final morning you have breakfast before checking out and transferring back to Canakkale Airport. With hotel accommodation in Canakkale, two breakfasts, the guided Troy visit, entrance fees, airport transfers and air-conditioned transport included, this short Turkey tour package is ideal for history enthusiasts and lovers of classical mythology who want to stand where Hector and Achilles are said to have fought. It is available as a group or private tour, making it easy to fit a meaningful journey into a long weekend.

After breakfast you drive to the ancient city of Troy (Truva), the setting of the legendary conflict often described as the first war between East and West. Troy was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998, and in 2018, the twentieth anniversary of the listing, Turkey celebrated the Year of Troy. The visit starts at the Wooden Horse standing near the entrance, a symbol of the cunning stratagem that brought the long siege to an end. With your professional guide you then explore the site where the Trojans lived for some 5,000 years. You hear how the city was burned and destroyed nine times and rebuilt again and again on the same hill, and you see the successive layers of fortification walls, gates and dwellings that archaeologists have uncovered. The guide's narration links the ruins to the heroes and episodes of the Trojan War. After the tour you return to your hotel. Overnight in Canakkale.
Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before checking out. At the appropriate time you are transferred to Canakkale Airport for your onward flight, taking with you memories of the legendary city of Troy and the shores of the Dardanelles. If your flight leaves later in the day, you may use the free time for a last stroll along the waterfront promenade or a coffee overlooking the strait. We hope your journey was a memorable one and look forward to welcoming you on another of our tours in the future. End of our services.

My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
