Top Excavations in Turkey

Don’t miss the chance to sit on the steps in front of the library for a classic photo – it’s the perfect spot to take in the view!

I think the best time to visit Troy is around 9 AM. You’ll beat the crowds and have more time to explore without feeling rushed. Plus, the morning light is perfect for photos!

I suggest packing a light lunch to enjoy at a picnic area. There are a few nice spots to relax, and it saves you money compared to the overpriced snacks inside the site.

Bring water and some snacks. They don't really sell much within the site, and prices can be a bit steep. I got super thirsty and wished I had stocked up before entering!

Check for discount tickets online before you go; I saved a few bucks. I purchased mine from an app, and it made the entrance smooth and easy for me.

First off, get there early! I mean like 8 AM if you can. It was much less crowded then, and I really enjoyed the peace of walking through the ancient ruins without tons of people.

I suggest visiting early in the morning around 8 AM to beat the crowds and catch the sunrise; it's breathtaking! Plus, it’s cooler for hiking.

If you plan on exploring the cave churches, I recommend bringing a flashlight or your phone’s torch; some areas can be pretty dark.

I think you should pack snacks and plenty of water. Food options inside the park are limited and a bit pricey

My advice is to wear comfy shoes! The terrain can be uneven, and trust me, you don’t want to ruin your day limping around.

I think wearing comfy shoes is a must, because you'll be doing a lot of walking on uneven terrain. Trust me, your feet will thank you later!

I recomend getting there around 9 AM to beat the crowds and enjoy the peace while exploring. The early light is also perfect for photos!

Don’t rush it! Take your time and wander through the caves and pathways. I wished I had spent more time soaking in the views instead of just snapping quick pics.
