Troy - if you squint hard enough, you can kind of imagine what it was like...

Don't get on the tourist bus to Troy, get on the dolmuse (minibus) and go through some mad little villages with the locals.

Thanks to some dickhead called Heinrich Schliemann (1822-1890) the ruins at Troy are exactly that - ruined. He was obsessed with finding the Troy of Homeric legend. He religiously studied the Illiad and got permission from the Ottoman Empire to dig for it where he said it was located. He was spot on with the location, but a little messy with the archaeological methods he employed. He basically decimated the site. It subsequently came out that he was more interested in finding the treasures that hid within Troy, rather than the city itself. He found the treasures and they are still housed, rather controversially, in Berlin today.

Anyway, here's a picture of Barclay inside the wooden horse.
