Located 200 miles from Istanbul in Türkiye’s North Aegean region, Troy is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and its history continues to resonate across centuries and continents.
Easily reached from Istanbul, Troy is just 19 miles from Çanakkale’s city center, located in the village of Tevfikiye. Troy has a history of more than 5,000 years of continuous settlement, from the Early Bronze Age to the Eastern Roman period. At the entrance to the site, award-winning Troy Museum invites visitors to explore archaeological treasures and layered history across three levels through a contemporary, immersive narrative.

It is also part of the Troy Vineyard Route, a scenic route which stretches through Gallipoli, Eceabat, Troy and the island of Bozcaada. The Southern Gate of Troy Palace and other structures from the Bronze Age are part of the 2026 dig season, and archaeologists and researchers in Çanakkale work tirelessly to unearth new historical insights into Troy. Experts continue to unveil grand colonnaded avenues and shopfronts dating back to the Roman era, as well as investigations into traces of destruction around the Southern Gate, tied to the legendary Trojan War. Teams are also working deep within the Troy Citadel on Bronze Age palace structures.

During “the Golden Age of Air Travel,” in the 1950s and ’60s, getting aboard an airplane was a special occasion, with passengers wearing their best outfits to suit the exclusive setting and lavish dining. This changed during the 1970s and into the 1980s, when commercial air travel became more democratized, thanks in part to the U.S. Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, and luxury was contained within business- and first-class cabins. In the last 30 years, as discount carriers found their audience, more shifts took place in major carriers’ premium cabins and lounges.

Oct 23, 2026The Flight Less Taken: Unsung Carriers Whisk You Away to Far-Flung Destinations
The miracle of flight feels slightly less miraculous these days. Endless delays, cramped seating and shortchanged amenities feel par for the course, and one can easily forget the wondrous fact that you’re hurtling above planet Earth, soaring above the clouds and across the skies to your destination of choice. In the olden days, you were limited to the fallibility of your outrigger canoe or horse-drawn carriage. It’s not hyperbolic to invoke the invention of the wheel when reminding oneself to stay calm and carry on in coach.
