Comino’s golden-sand beaches and crystal-clear sea were perfect for this cinematic classic. The story about one of the bravest warriors to roam ancient Greece, Achilles, was set in 1193 B.C.

Brad Pitt stars in this epic movie based on Homer’s “Iliad”. This blockbuster hit portrays the battle between the ancient kingdoms of Sparta and Troy. When Trojan prince Paris (Orlando Bloom) visits Spartan king Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson), the former falls for the latter’s wife Helen (Diane Kruger) and decides to take her back with him to Troy. When Agamemnon (Brian Cox), Menelaus’ brother, discovers this, he uses his brother’s fury as an excuse to declare war against the Greek city of Troy, the last kingdom standing between him and his control over the entire Aegean Sea.
