Photos #6 Alexandria Troas: coastline

 Alexandria Troas was the best harbor of that region in her golden days. This was the hub of traffic in 3 directions: 

1. to the west: towards Traces, Macedonia and Greece.
2. to the south & east: towards the Roman Province of Asia, along all the coast of Anatolia
3. to the north &east: through the Dardanelles Straits to the Marmara Sea and further east to the Black Sea.
   
   
   

This once famous and busy harbor was choked up with sand and led to the collapse of the city. Many of the stones from the ruins of the buildings were shipped to Constantinople for reuse.

Here are some of our photos along the coast and modern pier of Dalyan.
