2. Day 2: Çanakkale – Troy – Istanbul (B)After breakfast at your hotel, set off by coach on your excursion to ancient Troy, roughly 30 minutes away by road. Wreathed in legend, this UNESCO-listed archaeological gem is the location of ancient Troy, a city that many scholars believed, until its discovery in 1793, to have been dreamt up by the poet Homer for the purposes of his great work, The Iliad. The city is best known for the Trojan War of the 13th or 12th century BC, when after a 10-year siege by Greek forces, it fell into their hands after they smuggled soldiers inside its walls hidden within a giant, wooden horse. Gaze in wonder at the crumbled walls and relics as your guide recounts the city's history, including the Greek myth of the Trojan prince (Paris) whose flight with Zeus’ daughter (Helen) triggered the war. You’ll also see the huge, replica wooden horse that stands here to commemorate the city's infamous past. After your explorations, return to Çanakkale and spend the afternoon as you wish. Perhaps have lunch (own expense) at one of the many enticing restaurants, explore the town's other sights, or shop for souvenirs. At around 6pm, board your coach and drive back to Istanbul, where your tour concludes with a hotel drop-off in the late evening.

About Istanbul

Istanbul strækker sig over Europa og Asien ved Bosporus, med byzantinske og osmanniske monumenter, travle basarer og færger mellem kontinenterne.

Den historiske halvø rummer de største vartegn. Hagia Sophia, Den Blå Moské og Hippodromen vender mod hinanden i Sultanahmet, Basilikacisternen ligger under gaderne, og Topkapi-paladset breder sig over bakken over Det Gyldne Horn. En kort gåtur væk har Den Store Basar og Krydderibasaren handlet i århundreder, og Süleymaniye-moskeen, bygget af den store osmanniske arkitekt Sinan, kroner en af byens syv høje.

Top-ranked sights in Istanbul: Dolmabahce Palace (Dolmabahce Sarayi), Bosphorus, Bosphorus Bridge (Bogazici Koprusu).
