  About 30 km south of Canakkale is the historical Troy which is said to be the battlefield of the Trojan War in Greek Mythology. Now that the ancient city has gone and we can only imagine it from the wooden horse built according to the descriptions in Greek literature, the potteries scattered on the ground, and the remaining broken walls.
