Behramkale & Assos


Behramkale is a pretty little village that straggles up a hill towards the ruins of a famous temple to Athena. Assos is the name given to a cluster of half a dozen old stone houses-turned-hotels overlooking a picture-perfect harbour reached by a zigzag road down from behind Behramkale.
From the beginning of April to the end of August, avoid the weekends and public holidays if you can, when İstanbullus and İzmirlis pour in by the coachload to visit both the temple and the Hüdavendigar Camii mosque.
