Even though I was nursing the worst flu that I can remember having, I did suck it up on Easter Sunday and got in the car with two other friends for the better part of a whole day and visited the ancient cites of Troy and
Assos. I am happy to say that I have been there, but Troy was rather anticlimactic. The size of the site, the condition of the foundations did not quite live up to the stigma that its reputation had instilled in me. From
Bursa, Troy was about 3 hours in the car, with Assos being an extra 2 hours.
