Little remains of the actual buildings, but the historical and cultural significance of the location as well as the events that took place around it make up for the lack of structural integrity. Perhaps the most impressive is the entrance ramp which has been preserved in astonishingly solid shape. Also, for this who read and adore the Illiad, one can literally sense the spirit of the ancient battles amidst the ruins. With a hit of imagination, you can picture Agamemnon's army spread out across the surrounding plain as they plan and wage the attack on Troy.

I enjoyed Troy - but I only recommend going if you have an interest in the history and myths of Troy. The archaeological site itself is not the most impressive I’ve seen and it costs €27. It also does not take very long to explore. An hour is enough. For anyone trying to get the public mini bus there - as of writing this it goes from under the bridge if you search Troy Dolmus on google maps. It costs 100 lira and took about 45 minutes each way.

It was an honour to visit such an agent and historic place of a people and culture from so long ago. I really wished there were more bi-lingual translations of the text surrounding the site. Also better sign posting as I’m more of a visual person it was hard to see which versions of the city were specific to the corners of the site that we walked. The Trojan horse it self looked very commercial and ‘overly designed’ considering it was placed in the enter square of the old city.

Was quite cool. But… if you been to Roma. It’s a bit cliche. But this is 3000 BC. Still worth to go if you are not tired of 11+ hours same stay drive in the car. So simple high meat Shell gasoline test area foods. Not for foodies!

Where myth whispers through the wind — Troy, the city of nine lives. Each layer beneath my feet tells a story: the earliest settlers of 3000 BCE, the rise and fall of kingdoms, the fire and rebuilding of Troy VI and VII, and finally, the Roman Troy IX in 1st century A.D., when the city was reborn in marble and empire’s glory. Here, time folds into legend — the same ground that stirred Homer’s imagination as he sang of Achilles’ rage, Hector’s courage, and the fate sealed by a wooden horse. The ruins stand silent, yet the echoes of the Iliad still ride the breeze from Çanakkale’s shores. It’s a humbling walk through millennia — from myth to memory, from poetry to stone. #Troy #Çanakkale #Homer #Iliad #AncientTroy #RomanTroy #HistoryAndMyth #TurkeyTravel

Another historical place in western Turkey. Walk through the ruins of this well known ancient city. You can barely imagine how it should have looked in the past times. In the far you can see the Dardanelles and can imagine the tale of Homers Iliad. Of course you will find the troyan horse. There is another horse in Canakkale, which is the original requisite from the movie 'Troy'.

Pictures could not begin to describe the sights. The free narration through the Turkiye Museums app is fantastic and the information posters along the way are very helpful to get a full picture of what happened at this magnificent location.

The first thing to know about this museum is that the price at the gate is higher than what is posted on the official website. The website says that the entrance fee is 90 Turkish lira, but upon arrival we were informed that the price was 400 Turkish lira. We were told that we could only pay with a Turkish bank card or with cash. We were surprised and dismayed at the price difference between what was officially posted on the website and what the guards insisted that we pay at the gate. The next thing to know is that the bathroom is located outside of the museum near the cafe. There is no bathroom once you pass through the entry gates. This museum is comprised of both indoor and outdoor exhibits. You will be walking outside so plan to dress appropriately for the weather on the day of your visit. There are steps to navigate to get to the inside parts of the museum. We saw a couple struggling to get a baby stroller down the stone steps, which were uneven. This could be a difficult place to get through if you have physical mobility limitations or if you have a baby stroller. This was an interesting place to visit, but we left disappointed about the discrepancy in the listed entrance fee and what was posted on the official website. It felt like we did not get value for the money we paid.

Great place to visit in Çanakkale. The entrance fee is 400 TL for adults and 200 for students, but it's worth every penny. With the ticket you can visit both a medieval fortress, a submarine 😱, and a ship that was planting mines in WWI. Getting inside a real submarine is quite a rare experience and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

What a perfect conservation of the history. Beautifle expositions and reallistic videos. Strongly recommend to visit this museum. It is full with history about the Ottoman empire and Turkiye Republic. It is a worth to visit it.

Excellent museum with a rich collection. Çimenlik Kalesi that hosts the museum is historically remarkable and impressive. The visit takes about 3 hours including the S338 submarine and Nusret minelayer.

Nice castle, surrounded by old armaments with a lot of history, specialty form the WW1 and the Galipoli battle, You can visita a first war germany submarine, and old ship and the museum itself, full of history about the important battle.

The museum is inside the Ottoman castle, Çimenlik Kalesi, which used to be our destination to spend time by the seaside sitting on a bench in the good old days. Now you get access only by buying a ticket, which is sad. Yet inside the castle, they created a great atmosphere of memories of Canakkale Battle. Inside the castle, you may spend some relaxing time even though you don't like the war stuff, because the castle is really beautiful under the dim yellow light.

We paid 200tl even with museum cards and residence permits. It worth it. It’s not only open air area, you also can go to the castle and learn about its history. However, it’s impossible to go to the top of the castle

A homage to the ancient city of Troy located not too far away. This statue is on the waterfront surrounded by shops, cafes and restaurants. It actually long more authentic than the Trojan Horse erected at the ancient site.

I visited the Trojan Horse statue with my tour group. It was nice to see the famous landmark up close, especially knowing it was used in the Troy movie. Its big and i dont know how was it used in the movie, it’s a great photo spot and a fun quick stop if you’re visiting with a group.

The horse from Brad Pitts Troy movie. Given as a gift to Canakkale. It's more impressive than the other one at Troy.

Hollywood History on the Harbour. This is the actual Trojan Horse used in 2004 movie Troy. A great landmark that clearly ties the modern city to the ancient history of the region. Free to visit.

You should see it once. It's amazing. A big wooden horse for the movie. The view from there is next to the pier. It's soooooo beautiful.

Was a nice thing to see. It was donated to the city after the making of the movie Troy. Nothing to write home about though...

A must-see for history buffs and movie lovers! This iconic statue brings to life the legendary tale of the Trojan Horse, a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. The scale of the statue is impressive, and it's a great photo opportunity. For those unfamiliar, the story goes: The Greeks, unable to conquer the fortified city of Troy through conventional means, devised a cunning plan. They built a giant wooden horse, supposedly an offering to the gods, and left it outside the city gates. Hidden within the horse were Greek soldiers who, under the cover of night, emerged and opened the gates for the Greek army, leading to the fall of Troy. This statue gained further fame after appearing in the 2004 movie "Troy," starring Brad Pitt. Even if you're not a history buff, the statue is a fascinating piece of art and a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling.

Why has everyone crowded into this place when there are so many beautiful coves on this island? It’s way too crowded and noisy. There are much nicer coves around the island.

The entry is 400 TRY for only a beach chair and no other services included. The service feels forced as well, doesnt have an atmosphere of hospitality. Most average beach I’ve been to in my life with the most laughable prices. I’d skip 🙏🏼

It’s currently 200 TRY per person. The price doesn’t include any expenses. We have been told that they don’t serve breakfast after 11 am (they open the facility at 10 am so you only have one hour to get a proper breakfast while they are also requiring customers to be present before 12 to keep their place) They also don’t serve Turkish tea until 5 pm—don’t ask me, I don’t have any idea why. Coffee machines were broken, so no coffees as well. When we asked to get ice and glasses for the waters (that we paid for), we have been told that their ice machine is also broken and ice is limited — and ‘it’s an island’ so we shouldn’t expect more (?!) The last thing is that THERE IS NO WIFI. The year is 2022 and I can even get connected using my own data. So there is no excuse when you charge 200 TRY from the customers and you don’t have sufficient service and facilities.

I haven’t seen such a service without minimum professionalism with these given prices. We didn’t like mojitos at all but we’ve been “refused” to give them back or at least change them with something else. We asked to talk with a manager and again, guess what, he didn’t even bother himself to come and ask if he can help with something, instead he told the waiter guy that he is busy. I’ve ordered a salad but of course the same thing happened, salad was not the same as in the menu. We’ve been charged for everything even though we didn’t like them at all. Horrible business in such an amazing bay!

Very unprofessional. One of the workers was very rude to me and my family, and the owner was OK with this. I did not go thru calling the police/jandarma as it was our only day at the island. This kind of service does not reflect Bozcada. I am very disappointed. I think it is called Habbele beach.

Clean water, and far from the crowds.

Quite, clean and amazing chill beach. There is a small buffet where you can buy some snacks and also they offer sunbeds.

(Translated by Google) A quiet and decent beach with all kinds of amenities (Original) Sessiz sakin herturlu imkanın olduğu nezih bir plaj

(Translated by Google) The entrance fee is 12 TL for the driver and car, and an additional 4 TL for the remaining passengers. Unfortunately, the prices inside are expensive. It is a good idea to bring food and drinks with you when you go. There is no problem with shower, cabin etc. If you want to sit at the table, you should go a little early, otherwise it is possible to spread a blanket on the ground and sit under the tree. There's nothing to say about the sea anyway. Absolutely amazing. (Original) Giriş ücreti şoför ve otomobil 12, geri kalan yolcular için de ek olarak 4tl. İçerideki fiyatlar maalesef tuzlu. Giderken yanınızda yiyecek içecek götürmekte fayda var. Duş, kabin vs konusunda problem yok. Masada oturmak istiyorsanız biraz erken gitmelisiniz, yoksa yere örtü serip ağaç altında da oturmak mümkün. Denize diyecek birşey yok zaten. Kesinlikle harika.

(Translated by Google) The sea is wonderful, the facilities are inadequate and expensive, but it is beautiful. Sun lounger and umbrella prices are ideal (Original) Denizi harika, tesisler yetersiz ve pahalı da olsa güzel. Şezlong ve şemsiye ücretleri ideal

(Translated by Google) The air, water and nature are very beautiful. Be sure to bring a camping chair and beach umbrella with you when you go. Sun loungers are broken and umbrellas are not enough. (Original) Havası suyu doğası çok güzel. Giderken yanınızda kamp sandalyesi ve plaj şemsiyesi mutlaka olsun. Şezlonglar kırık ve şemsiye yetmiyor.

(Translated by Google) It has a perfect sea. It is as beautiful as Alacati but not that cold. There is a pine grove where you can have a picnic right behind the beach. It has a sea more beautiful than many seas in Turkey. Its natural beauty has been preserved because there are no facilities around it. There are also bunkers on the beach from the Canakkale side.
