Troas Today

Today, Troas is in Western Turkey, in the Biga Peninsula along the Aegean Coast. It is not a developed place of attraction yet. There is some archaeological work, but the amount is minimal. It is near a small town Dalyan (pop. 5,800). A more famous ancient city Assos (now Behram), which Paul visited during the Third Missionary Journey, is 60 km away in the south, and the world-famous ancient Troy is about 40km away in the north which takes less than an hour's drive on the Mahmudiye road. 

My wife and I visited Troas twice, in 2001 and 2017, not much has changed in the past 16 years. 

The Biga Peninsula is largely a flat piece of rural land, with little population and villages.




This is the ancient baths in Roman style. Huge complexes.
