Canakkale Inns - Reviews and Rates

June 2nd - Eceabat to Selcuk
After a traditonal turkish breakfast of feta, bread, tomato, cucumber and olives we caught the ferry over the Dardanelles to Canakkale. We had a quick photostop in front of the Trojan Horse used in the Brad Pitt movie 'Troy' before heading to the ancient city itself. Our guide here was outstanding, a retired uni...

On the 25th of November 2008 on the Trojan Plain, I concluded my reading of Homer's Iliad beneath the mound of Hisarlik, the many cities of Troy. It was a beautiful day. Warm even in the sunlight.
