The acropolis of Assos, crowned by its ancient citadel and the village of Behramkale, is set in the landscapes of ancestral Turkey. The temple of Athena (530 BCE), a ruined theatre, impressive ramparts (400 BCE) and other remains are a reminder of the heyday of Assos, a citadel founded in the 7C BCE by the Greeks, occupied by the Romans, then conquered by the Ottomans in 1330, before finally falling into decline.
