Troy in the open. - Be prepared for a long drive from izmir to Troy, but once there it will be worth it. Fantastic ruins. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and professional and never stopped trying to make our trip better. Lunch was included but you may be better off doing it on your own if available. The food quality was not the best and the options were very limited.
