Asagipinar  Ancient Village or Settlement  Turkey    Saw from a distance  7th Apr 2026  2  3  5  Situated along a road with street parking. It was fenced off and the gate was closed when I visited, probably an unfinished project. Earthworks that looks to be original and ancient is visible. Educational facilities and reconstructions in the site were clearly visible. Hope the work there will be done well, finished in due time and open to visitors become a nice educational site  1  1

Troy.  Ancient Village or Settlement  Turkey    Visited  11th Apr 2026  2  3  5  A UNESCO Heritage site with perfect accessibility. A very complex site.

The necropolis was also easily reached. But to reach the acropolis was really difficult. After passing the necropolis there was a gate, which was not locked but hooked closed. Just unhook the gate and get in and then rehook it back ...
