Troy - Day 6 Saturday 7th May
Troy is quite a big site and has many layers. so it can be confusing to sort out what you can see. We did not buy a guidebook, which might have helped. There are information boards in English and Levent's explanations were very good. The wild flowers were prolific and beautiful. There were lots of poppies in bloom all over Turkey and they were a deeper red than we normally see.

We continued south and found lunch in a Turkish village, Yesilyurt, where we also visited the local mosque. There was also a demonstration of how to prepare Turkish coffee.
The cafe looked quite attractive. Note the overhanging house in the second
image.
We then continued on to our hotel at Ayvalik.
