Actress Reyhaneh Parsa in Turkey

Canakkale

Home to the iconic Trojan Horse that Brad Pitt once mastered in the movie Troy, this cute seaport town is well worth a visit. Canakkale is full of quirky shops, delicious Lokma (a fried sweet dough) and plenty of seafront bars. It is the perfect mix between history and small city life.A local Dolmuses (minibus) will take you to the grounds of the ancient city of Troy. Here lies the first known replica of the infamous Trojan Horse. Spend a morning exploring the preserved grounds of the ancient city. In the evenings, soak up the atmospheric waterside markets and watch the sunset over Kilitbahir Castle.
