The Legendary City of Homer. Your complete planning guide — when to go, what to see, how long to stay, and which tours to book.
The city that Homer wrote about, Schliemann excavated, and Brad Pitt fought over — Troy is more than a myth. Nine cities built atop one another spanning 4,000 years make this UNESCO site one of archaeology's most important. The on-site Troy Museum (opened 2018) is among Turkey's finest.
