We went to Istanbul to see ancient Troy. Guided tours are provided only in English, but don't be afraid if you speak it very poorly or don't know it at all. My main concern was that we would not be lost, because the path is not close.
It takes 4 hours by bus first, and then by ferry across the Dardanelles Strait. But everything was great, so I recommend it to everyone. The guide is a very nice Turkish girl who doesn't know Russian at all, a bunch of Americans are with us, and here we are in Three. Of course, I had to involuntarily strain myself and listen to an English course from ancient history. But they didn't lose us anywhere, they wrote in the translator where we would meet and when. The food was delicious, and the path itself is beautiful and picturesque. And at the ruins of Troy you will be given an audio guide in Russian and you can walk perfectly without a guide. Therefore, do not be afraid of anything, you will really enjoy a wonderful trip for the whole day. I advise all history lovers.
The cost in November 2024 was 130 euros per person.
This place has been well improved, paths have been laid. It is convenient to visit even with a stroller or heels (we have seen such ladies)
Squirrels are running all over the area, which is very cute.
But it wasn't informative enough. Not even an audio guide.
A convenient route along the platforms, there are benches and viewing platforms. Parking in front of the entrance is paid, but cheap. The entrance ticket is 30 euros (2024).
