About
The Troy Culture Route traces the Biga peninsula of northwestern Türkiye over about 130 km, from the fabled citadel of Troy (Truva, Hisarlık) southward to the ancient Greek harbour city of Assos on the Aegean coast, where Aristotle once taught in the Platonic Academy. Seven stages link archaeological ruins, fishing villages, olive groves and pine-covered hills along the way.
