After Foca, we continued along the coast towards Canakkale. The views are simply breathtaking as we drove up and down cliffs and negotiated sharp bends along the coastal roads. We decided to skip Istanbul on this leg of the trip and will visit the city on our return journey next year.
VIEWS OF THE AEGEAN SEA:
Camakli Village facing the Aegean Sea.
At the beach, at Dikili. No tourist on the beach and the water is cold.

PEGASUS AT OREN:
Archeological work still in progress.
ZEUS ALTAR:
Here we are at Zeus Altar, near the village of Adatepe. Once we reached the entrance, it is still a long hike up to get to the altar itself.

Years of erosion results in the honeycomb shaped rocks underneath the altar.
VIEW OF THE AEGEAN COAST FROM ZEUS ALTAR:
ALEXANDREIA TROAS:
Alexandreia Troas, ruins of an ancient Greek city that was mentioned a few times in the Bible. The city is quite large but we only saw the ancient bath on our way to Canakkale.
Herodes Atticus Bath

MORE TRADITIONAL TURKISH FOOD:
This is our lunch at Pitane Restaurant in Candarli on 19 Sep 2012. The food is excellent and the restaurant is packed. We also ordered the Kiymali Pide but we forgot to take a photo of it.
Nice home cooked meal in this small restaurant at Geyikli was lunch on 22 Sep 2012.
