Troy - Home of Famed Trojan Horse

Saw the 9 city layers of Troy. A dream come true since childhood. Sadly their fake Trojan horse is under repair.

Had a great snack of flat dough with potato and goat cheese filling in a nearby town. So good.




 








Eceabat ferry ride to Canakkale

From Gallipoli, we headed to Eceabat to catch a ferry to Canakkale. Eceabat is a small sleepy town with communist style housing...no beautiful buildings except the town's one mosque. Hardly anyone on the streets.

Canakkale is in contrast to Eceabat. The town is lively and beautiful. When we arrived, there is a display of the famous Trojan horse, originally used in the Brad Pitt Troy movie. The movie gave it to the town and they proudly display it there along their seawall.
