This is the famous
day that we ventured
to Troy! After being
viewed as too much
off the beaten track,
Troy was back online.
This was much to
the disaproval of
our driver Alp!
Here lies the once mighty city of Trois, where many an Iliadic event happened! Today archaeologists have found ten cities, possibly more. Homer's Troy is thought to be number six or number seven. more >

This is proof that
we finally arrived here,
after years of
studying this place aswell
as after thousands
of kilometres of driving.

looking closer at the rocks...
   
Alp,
you must agree
that these rocks
are fabulous.
The rest of us
definately agreed that
Troy was well worth
the visit!
Here is a good view to show that the archaeologists aren't fibbin when they say Troy is multilevelled. You can see Troy I, II, III and IV..  < back | more >

to see the well
constructed ramp.
 
I spent ages here
joining two photo's
together.
Well here are the mighty walls themselves in 1999. They think the top ones are from 'Homer's' Troy.
What do you think?

and finally...
   
We almost broke
our necks to
get this shot
of the sign post!
 
Reversing down a
main road in Turkey
is not the
best idea!
5km from Trois. Next stop today would be Assos, serveral hundred kilometres up the road!  < back | top --^
