Creator's Key Takeaways

I booked a tour this morning to go to Troy. I booked it online through email with a company, a third party company that I am not familiar with.

The food has been incredible on the ship.

The captain's very talkative, very engaging. I've enjoyed hearing his announcements.

I have eight more days after this to continue exploring.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get a shore pass if required to exit the port.
Use the free shuttle from the cruise port to the city center.
Plan for shops and restaurants to be closed on Sundays in some locations.

YouTube Video Description

Come with me as I visit the legendary Troy, cities built on top of each other over centuries, slowly excavated to bring to light stories from so long ago that we don't truly know what happened all those years ago! I took a tour through the ruins on my day docked on the Azamara Pursuit in Canakkale, Turkey. After the amazing tour I spent some time walking around the city center of Canakkale and saw a few landmarks before heading back to the ship for a relaxing afternoon by the pool under the beautiful sunny blue skies. We had an early sailaway which meant we were able to clearly see Gallipoli and the war memorials dedicated to the fallen soldiers from the battle in WW1. It was a fantastic first full port day of the cruise - coming up next, Greece!
