Guide - Assos (Behramkale)

This little place in the Aegean Sea, north coast is literally surrounded by history. Built on the ruins of the ancient Assos, the current village of Behramkale is the cluster of stone houses under a akropol crowned by the ancient Greek temple dedicated to Athens (see illustration). This is a wonderful opesachavane scenic spot overlooking the sea Greek island of Lesbos.

Old Assos is a symbol of his school of philosophy, which was led by Aristotle in his heyday for the Persian invasion in 344 BC. Long cobbled lane leading to a small fishing port to look at a number of excellent hotels and restaurants. Whatever it is especially popular spot with the Turkish tourists, construction of control have helped protect the village of the rural charm. In the joy of Assos in this windswept ruins work a preference for fresh fish in bulk water - especially in the quieter off-season.

On the road
