Assos

Picturesque Aegean village. Once home to Aristotle, this old Stone village provides precious ancient ruins like the Temple of Athena

For years, the Bay of Assos (Behramkale, pop. 1,600, 31 miles from Çanakkale) was a well-kept secret of İstanbul artists.

In the ancient world, Assos was a famous center of science: Aristotle taught there for three years.
