The Aegean Way

Información

DAY 1: ISTANBUL > TROY > ÇANAKKALE
The first day features a visit of Troy, and you will spend the night at Çanakkale city, which is located along the Dardanelles. Your tour will start with an early morning departure from the hotel. You will drive along the European shore of the Marmara Sea, seeing some lovely summer houses on the sea side, with vast sun flower fields on the land side.

As you cross the Dardanelles by ferry, and drive the last 25 minutes to the site of Troy; you will become a part of Homer’s legends; seeing the symbolic Trojan horse, the city walls, The Athena Temple and the Odeon. After the visit, you will relax in Çanakkale, a pleasant small town with exceptional fish restaurants.

DAY 2: TROY > PERGAMUM > IZMIR
On the second day, you will follow the route taken by those who have escaped the fall of Troy, to the city of Pergamum. You will visit the Acropolis and the Asklepion, which indeed has been an inspiration, as well as a prototype for the modern healthcare center of our day.

After the Pergamum visit, you will be driven to Izmir (this trip takes about an hour). You will have a tour of interesting sights that this unique city offers. Our recommendation is the panoramic view of the city from the Kadifekale (The Velvet Castle); and a large glass of “Efes” Beer, which is best enjoyed at a sea side café on the “Kordon”, at sunset. Izmir too, is famous for its exceptional fish restaurants.
