Back Home From Assos

I am back from a 3 day trip to Assos, and here is some links about Assos and the places worth seeing around Assos... I visited them all and if you need my word; yes, go see them all... (And well, if you go there with a Vw Westfalia Camper Bus that'd be even better as you'd have a cooler full of beer ;)

Assos (modern Behramkale) is located on the northwestern coast of Turkey on the Aegean Sea. It is on the southern shore of the area known as the "Troad." It may have been that ships stopped here before beginning their difficult journey clockwise northward around the Troad toward the Dardanelles. (Click to read more...)

Situated on the Acropolis of Assos stand the Temple of Athena. (Here is another view). Here is the detailed information about the Temple of Athena.

Aprox. 30 km. north there is Temple of Apollo Smintheus.

If you love olive oil, you should go check this link about Adatepe Olive Oil Museum.

And, everybody knows about Troy the city which existed over 4000 years and known as the center of ancient civilizations. Here is a link about Troy in Mythology...

Photos and more info will be coming soon... ;)
