Assos, perched on a cliff 238 meters above the Aegean, offers breathtaking views and rich history. Founded by settlers from Lesbos, this ancient city, built from resilient andesite stone, boasts well-preserved walls, temples, and structures.
At its highest point stands the Temple of Athena, a unique Doric marvel guiding sailors in antiquity. The surrounding Necropolis features ancient tombs and sarcophagi, reflecting burial customs of the era.
As a cultural hub, Assos thrived as a port city and intellectual center, with Aristotle founding a school of philosophy here. Today, Assos invites visitors to explore its legacy and timeless grandeur.
