Day 20: Canakkule
This was the most “touristy” day of the whole trip. We spent the morning touring Troy and the afternoon and evening at Gallipoli. Our tour guide, although 100% Turkish, resembled nothing other than a Viking. He is a professor of history at the local university and was a very enthusiastic leader. The tours themselves were interesting, but not spectacular. Very little of Troy is actually available to see, and there are only so many hours you can stare at scenery and imagine amphibious assaults. By the time we got back to the hotel at 8:30 p.m. I was exhausted.
