Go Türkiye has wrapped up filming its latest mini-series, "Tell Me Troy," a production that brings together ancient mythology, romance and cultural discovery to showcase Türkiye's Northern Aegean region to international audiences.
According to a statement from the Türkiye Tourism Promotion and Development Agency (TGA), the series takes viewers across historical and tourist destinations in Canakkale, Balikesir and Izmir, drawing inspiration from Homer's ancient Greek epics, the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey."
Produced by Storymagez and directed by Emre Kavuk and Mustafa Ugur Yagcioglu, the mini-series stars Halit Ozgur Sari as Aras and Ozge Yagiz as Bade.
"Tell Me Troy" follows a group of film students who set off from Istanbul for the Northern Aegean in search of creative ideas for their graduation projects.
As they work on their screenplays, the students encounter unexpected events inspired by the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey," two epic poems attributed to Homer. Meanwhile, a previously unfinished romance between Aras and Bade begins to take a new direction as their journey unfolds.
The story combines the characters' personal experiences with the region's mythological narratives and cultural heritage.
Filming took place across several Northern Aegean destinations, including ancient Troy, Assos, the Kaz Mountains, Antandros, Cunda, Bergama and Foca.
Rather than serving solely as backdrops, these locations form part of the characters' journey of adventure and discovery, highlighting the region's archaeological heritage, natural landscapes and cultural traditions.
The production is part of Go Türkiye Mini-Series, a tourism promotion initiative that introduces destinations across Türkiye to international audiences through scripted storytelling.
According to TGA, the project has released 10 mini-series to date, generating approximately 10.5 billion impressions and 6.5 billion views.
The latest production aims to build on that reach by bringing together romance, historical settings and mythological storytelling to promote the Northern Aegean.
