Assos

Assos, a historic settlement rich in natural beauty and fresh air, evokes a sense of wonder that spans back to the Bronze Age.

Assos

Philosopher Aristotle selected Assos as the location for his school of philosophy, establishing it as a place of significant intellectual heritage. With its breathtaking geography, rich history, and outstanding cuisine, Assos is undoubtedly a paradise on earth.

A significant portion of the 4 km-long ancient walls still encircles the city today. The Temple of Athena, perched atop the Acropolis, is one of Anatolia’s oldest Doric temples from the Archaic Age. It offers a perfect vantage point for witnessing breathtaking sunsets over Edremit Bay. The ancient theater, which can accommodate 4,000 spectators, remains well-preserved. Additionally, the Ottoman-era bridge near Behramkale Village is still intact and continues to serve its purpose. When visiting Assos with My Land Traveler, be sure to explore the ancient city, which resembles an open-air museum, the ancient harbor, and the historic houses that line the narrow streets of Behramkale Village. After soaking in the history, you can unwind on the golden sands and take a refreshing dip in the turquoise waters. Kadırga Cove is a popular spot for sunbathing and swimming in Assos.
