The wind now blows across the stone steps where Aristotle once taught…
The Assos Archaeological Site, located in the village of Behramkale in the Ayvacık district of Çanakkale, is one of the most captivating ancient cities of the Aegean.
From the Doric Temple of Athena, the sea view is both visually and historically mesmerizing.
The ancient theatre, agora, necropolis, and fortification walls offer a journey where nature and history merge seamlessly.

Assos was founded in the 7th century BC by Aeolian colonists and became a prominent center of philosophy and trade during the Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods.
In the 4th century BC, Aristotle established a school of philosophy here, turning Assos into a hub of thought and learning.
The city retained its importance through the Roman and Byzantine eras, celebrated for its fine stonework and the grandeur of the Athena Temple.

Climb the hill of the Temple of Athena near sunset.
As you gaze over the Aegean, you’ll witness how history and nature intertwine.
On your way back, take a stroll through the streets of Behramkale — lose yourself among the timeless stone houses.
