00:02Welcome to Channacale, where history and legend meet.
00:06Behind me stands one of the world's most famous symbols, the Trojan horse.
00:11Today I'm discovering how centuries of history continue to influence the region's identity.
00:23Channacale is a port on the southern coast of the Dardanelles,
00:26the strait that links the Sea of Marmara with the Aegean and the Mediterranean.
00:31To understand this region's heritage, there's only one place to start,
00:36Troy, one of the world's most famous archaeological sites and the setting of Homer's Iliad.
00:42One of the oldest cities ever excavated,
00:45this UNESCO World Heritage Site is best known as the setting of the legendary Trojan War.
00:51But Troy is much more than this.
00:53Ten successive cities were built here, one on top of another,
00:58over four thousand years of history in a single place.
01:01Because Asia and Europe are in the middle of another,
01:04we can express this point as the East and the West culture.
01:09Troy is one of the mythological and historical research in terms of the world's most famous research.
01:17This is the cause of the history of the East Edebiyat,
01:20the history of Iliad and Odessia,
01:22the history of the East Edebiyat.
01:27Thousands of years on,
01:29Troy still attracts visitors from around the world.
01:32Legend made this city famous.
01:34Archaeology is uncovering what actually happened here.
01:43And today, many of those discoveries are kept just a few hundred meters away at the Troy Museum,
01:50where a strikingly modern building holds some of the region's most ancient treasures.
01:55Inside, the artifacts trace the story of Troy and the surrounding Troy's region from its earliest settlements to the cultures
02:04that followed.
02:04Müzemize geldiğinizde zaten bu çok katlı yapısıyla bile o höyüyü, Troy'a höyüyünü anlatıyor müze.
02:12Katlar arasında ziyaretçi zemin kattan üst kata çıktıkça,
02:17tıpkı Troy'a'nın statigrafisi gibi erken Tunç çağından günümüze kadar bir yolculuğa çıkıyor.
02:23Haliyle müzeye gelen ziyaretçi de Troy'ayı dediğim gibi kurulduğundan günümüze kadar anlayabileceği,
02:30anlamlandırabileceği önemli bir merkez haline geliyor.
02:35From everyday objects to monumental sculptures,
02:39the museum's collection reveals Troy's many layers,
02:42how its people lived and what they left behind.
02:51Here the sea connects everything,
02:53and it's about to carry us to our next destination.
02:57After exploring Troy's ancient legacy,
03:00I'm heading to Bosgiada to discover another side of Chanakale's heritage.
03:05This time it's preserved in an island tradition that has lasted for centuries.
03:10The ferry ride takes less than an hour and Bosgiada makes an immediate impression.
03:15Its colorful streets and old stone houses feel a world away from the mainland.
03:20But there's more to this island than its postcar looks.
03:23Bosgiada is internationally known for its winemaking.
03:27With sea breezes and the mild Mediterranean climate,
03:29the island is made for growing grapes.
03:32Bosgiada is also part of the Troy historical vineyard route,
03:35a trail connecting winemakers across this ancient wine region.
03:39Bosgiada shares of Janakale's heritage as well in the early years.
03:42In 2000's the Nekropol回來,
03:45there are pools of java in Bosgiada.
03:49The Gulf of the 1700s and the 100th century,
03:52it's been traded to the Theanedos.
03:54There are always an amphora and everything from this ship.
03:57This time looks like a potential passing through 4000 years.
04:04Alongside the international varieties, the island grows its own native grapes, the whites of
04:10Chavush and Basilaki and the red Kuntra.
04:13That's what makes these wines taste of Bojada.
04:17Every September, the island's grape harvest festival celebrates the end of the Peking
04:22season.
04:24The best place to try these wines is right here on the island where they have been made
04:29for four millennia.
04:35From the mythological ruins of Troy to the vineyards of Bojada, this journey has revealed the many
04:41faces of Channacale's heritage.
04:43But here history isn't confined to the past.
04:46It's reflected in the landscapes, traditions and communities that continue to shape the
04:51region today.
