ABSTRACT
Location: The excavated ruins of ancient Troy, the modern Hissarlik, are in northwestern Turkey about four miles east of the Aegean Sea and a little closer to the Hellespont, or Dardanelles, to the north. Troy lies in the province of Çanakkale, about eighteen miles southeast of the coastal town of Çanakkale and a few miles west of the main E24 road that runs from Çanakkale generally south along the Aegean coast to İzmir. The village of Tevfikiye is less than one-half mile from the site on the access road from E24.
