Situated in the Cannakale province of Turkey, Kepez is a good base from which to visit the ancient city of Troy, where excavations have revealed old cities built from the 13th century BC onwards. You can also see a replica of the Wooden Horse which stands on the site. These archaeological wonders were discovered by the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, who was convinced that Homer’s stories were more than fiction and set about unearthing these fabulous cities.
