The Troia Peninsula

The Romans had this place figured out. And now the Americans are set to invade. The Troia Peninsula has been rediscovered.

It’s still in a state of flux on our visit with a ton of cranes.

It makes sense. If you’re coming out of Lisbon, the motorway is the wrong way. I highly recommend coming down to Setúbal for lunch. There’s no difference in timing, but who wants to drive on a motorway when there's all this to be seen? And there are a ton of great little eateries in the port town. Jump on the little ferry. It's far more interesting.

I played Troia a few years back and fell in love with the place. Then rumours that it had fallen out. I went there this week and the rumours were right.

But fear not! This gorgeous little link is in good hands and is bound for glory. The area is developing again, too! It’s like they didn’t get it right the first time, but Hyatt is on board, as is Details.
