Private Troy and Assos Day Tour from Canakkale
This private day tour from Canakkale combines legend and landscape. You start in Troy, the city sung by Homer, and end on the volcanic hilltop of Assos, where a Greek temple looks out over the Aegean towards the island of Lesbos. With your own vehicle, driver and professional English-speaking guide, the pace of the day is yours.
It is one of the most scenic day trips from Canakkale, ideal for couples, families and small groups who want a quieter Aegean day after the crowds of the big sites.
Highlights
- Troy - the UNESCO-listed ancient city at Hisarlik
- Behramkale - stone village on the hill of ancient Assos
- Temple of Athena - Doric temple of the 6th century BC above the sea
- Assos Harbour - tiny fishing port with stone buildings and sea views
- Ottoman bridge - the humpback bridge below Behramkale
Troy has been excavated since the 1870s and shows settlements from the early Bronze Age to Roman times; it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998. Walking its walls with a guide brings the story of the Trojan War, and the real history behind it, to life.
Assos was an Aeolian Greek city founded on a steep volcanic hill. Its Temple of Athena, built in the Doric order around 530 BC, has been partly re-erected and is one of the finest viewpoints on the Turkish Aegean. The philosopher Aristotle lived here for some years, and the Book of Acts records that St Paul passed through Assos. Below the acropolis, the old harbour is lined with stone warehouses that now serve as small hotels and fish restaurants.
Good to know
- Wear sturdy shoes; the paths at Assos are steep and cobbled.
- Sunset at the Temple of Athena is beautiful in summer; ask us to adjust the timing.
- Best from April to October; winters can be windy.
