Strong history trip with a long ride

As a first-time visitor, I liked how much history fit into two days. Gallipoli felt especially moving, and Troy was interesting too. The coach was comfortable, though the travel from Istanbul is long. Having lunch and one night in Eceabat made the schedule feel manageable overall.
