Troy and Assos

The worst thing about Troy was the stupid wooden horse with windows when we entered the site. Everything else was really well done. A confusing but beautiful archaeological site was really well presented. Raised wooden walkways took us all over. 

Then we went to the museum which was modern and well laid out. Lyn pointed out the empty space set aside for 'Priam's Treasure'. Good luck getting that back from the Russians!

Next stop was Assos. It was a steep walk up to the temple of Athena on the acropolis past shops selling overpriced clothing, ice cream and ghastly souvenirs. 

The view from the top across the water to Lesbos was stunning.  

It was a longish drive to Bergama, ancient Pergamon, where we will be for two nights.
