The temple of Athena was really beautiful and all of the surrounding grounds in ancient ruins that can be explored. Make this a beautiful place to go.

Perfect place to see beautiful Athena temple and listen wind

We came to Assos just to see this temple. Really worth it for the view and the vibes. We spent an hour walking around. You can go down to the rest of the ancient city from here. Wear proper shoes because of cobblestones.

Another lovely historic place. Its pretty high so if you don't have a car, you better be prepared for a walk. When you get to the top, you will be amazed by the view. You can see ocean and land together. If you come to Assos, don't skip here. Especially if you like watching views.

8 years later, I had the opportunity to see this magnificent temple for the second time. Like the first time, I was enchanted by its history and beauty, it is a must-see place. If you are coming by car, there is a parking lot at the entrance of the hill. As soon as you get out of the vehicle, the attendant comes to you and asks for 20 TL. To reach the temple, you have to climb the hill for 15-20 minutes. My advice is to drink a glass of black mulberry(Karadut) juice at the beginning of the road, because you will need energy. When you see the Single Domed Mosque with White Minaret, take a deep breath, you are almost there. If you have a museum card, you can pass the turnstiles without waiting in line. Otherwise, the entrance is 50 TL. There were 5-10 people in line when I went. The Temple of Athena is the first stop of the ancient Ruins. You can go to the Theater, Agora and other structures on the pathway after passing the turnstiles. But I must warn, the road is very long and hilly. Have a nice trip 🤞🏻

Getting here From Çanakkale go to the Canakkale otogar Look for the Ayvacık/assos bus (60TL) Stop in Ayvacık Take the next bus to Assos (25TL) Bus stops at the bottom of the hill, walk up to the entrance. Takes about 1.5hr total. Expect to spend at least 3 hours on site, there's lots of ground to cover. Enter from the top, exit at the bottom (unless you want to hike all the way back up). No toilets on site, use the one at the beginning of town. The view from this temple is absolutely breathtaking. This is a must visit if you're in Turkey.

Amazing place to visit, soaked with ancient history. The view from the mountain is simply spectacular. One thing to keep in mind is that you have to climb quite a lot to get there. There are places with quite cheap souvenirs all the way up to the entrance of the museum. Wondeful experience.

Asos Ancient City was truly impressive. The stone paths, ruins, and especially the Temple of Athena take you back in time. It wasn’t too crowded, so it was easy to walk around. I think anyone interested in history would really enjoy it.

The doric temple still exudes holiness, even today. Although it’s a long walk, the ancient city down shouldn’t be missed. I recommend visiting during the off-season to fully immerse yourself in the divine atmosphere of the temple.

The ancient city itself is amazing. However the description and maintenance are a bit lacking. Bring your own water, wear comfortable shoes and go to the toilet before you enter the ruin.

It is located on the hill, you have to make a lot of effort to go up, there are shops on the right and left as you go up, there is the Temple of Artemis on the top floor.

There are so many steep walkways be aware of it. You can enter the site with museum cards or with a ticket. There are no canteens in the site so bring your water because there are so many stairs to take to go the theater :). The landscape is so amazing espacially the sea view.

Beautiful place, calm serene with a certain energy. Please don't take plastic stuff there. Certainly not plastic bags. If you take something make sure to bring all of it back. There is a lot of plastic trash in TURKIYE in all such places. Humans are disgusting.

(Translated by Google) For those who love history, those who want to visit and see the places they will love should go and see them, I think it's a great feeling. (Original) Tarih sevenler için çok sevicekleri yerler gezip görmek isteyenler gidip görsün bence çok harika duygular

(Translated by Google) If you're coming by car, there's a 50 TL parking fee. Don't wear slippers; you'll get tired. (Original) Araba ile geleceksiniz 50 tl otopark ücreti var. Terlikle gelmeyin yorulursunuz

It is under restoration however you can still visit other parts of the museum. It is one of the beautiful things around in Side

A time machine into the history of the city of Assos! This landmark has seen a huge number of civilisations across thousands of years. Beautiful spot to sit and enjoy the views, you might even be lucky to here an Ezan from the local mosque 🕌 5/5 must see if you are in Assos, you can enter with either a standard ticket or a museum card! Pretty cheap too.

A breathtaking place with the view of Mytilene! Unfortunately you have to pay a fee unless you’re a teacher or a student with Turkish ID. Additionally, do not drink juice from the nearby shops. They say it is organic but in fact, it is not.

It was an amazing experience! You must see this place at least one time in your life

Great visit. Make sure you found it, it’s easy to miss if you don’t follow the signs.

Please take care of your history D place is full of history but also full of bushes

Perfect ancient architecture ! Worth to come - definitely ! 💯

Wonderful small marina. There are many good restaurants here, serving great food.

After visiting the greek ruins, this is a perfect place to relax and have some food or drink. It is a small port with quiet aegean waters, really beautiful, have a look at the photos. There are some hotels and many restaurants specialised in seafood.

Great and very relax place to stay

A little peaceful tranquil fishing village with several restaurants and hotels. Many friendly cats and dogs🥰

A very nice tiny harbour, with small boutique hotels. You can not park your car here. You should park before the harbour and walk there. Prepare for a steep walk to return to your car

Kind a little bit upset to go here cause you only got one route to get there and as soon as you got there you can not find this historical port because it has been used as hotel and restaurant there. It was below my expectations. Although also it is nice to go to historical place

Nice place to visit in the evening and eat some fish. Better to park on the road before the city

A very terrible place. They wanted to charge me double the price. Though even before I asked for it. The coworker Mahmud was extremely unfriendly and disrespectful. Place stay away from this terrible place.

This restoran is completely fail , prices are too expensive, they brought small fishes even we ordered big ones. Staff is not polite, better to keep yourself away from this restoran and choose others.

this is the best mezze in turkey. the fish is also amazing. great table by the water, in the ancient harbor in assos.

Basically turned us over by saying that they are full although there were multiple empty tables. Terrible service.

Worest place, very expensive compared to other, not recommended to go

Good fish, good view at port and good service.

Great restaurant 👍👍

Unbeatable dining spot with incredible views to the sea and sunset. All the mezze were amazing and above average and pretty big portions, fish was fresh, everything came perfect and fast. We tried to book in advance but they did not take it since it was busy weekend with public holidays, but still we came early and we found a spot.

Every time we are at Behramkale, we visit this restaurant, eat at one of the tables on the balcony while watching the sunset. Owners are very welcoming and lovely people. Service is great and food is delicious. We mostly order mantı. They bring yogurt, sauce and spices separately for the kids (which my kids love as they like to add everything themselves). Also definitely try their gözleme, stuffed or fried squash flowers, and yaprak sarma (stuffed grape leaves). All the food is made by the owners.

A local mom and pop restaurant on the hill in ASOS. They offer 4 types of Börek, we tried them all and they were all delicious. Their baklava is also yummy and the upstairs patio has a great view of sea and surrounding area. The restaurant is worth a visit if you’re in the area.

We couldn't drink soup eat kalamari or olive oiled cabbage dish it was so bad, i ate lamb skewer which was ok. It wasn't a good experience overall. 2. Floor is nice tough.

Food and location was excellent. Özkan provided wonderful service and all his recommendations were great. There is also a cute little cat, who will be your best friend when you arrive. It was a lovely experience overall. Highly recommend eating here.

Absolutely fantastic Turkish-Aegean cuisine! The calamari is the best I’ve ever had. The service is polite & very attentive. The atmosphere is magical on the 2nd floor, with lovely views of the area. Order the fish, and try all the incredible appetizers, especially the stuffed zucchini flowers. Please don’t feed the cats. :-)

Amazing food with great traditional taste. Very friendly guests. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed staying here. Asena is a great host. It is a boutique hotel. Room was comfortable and minimalist. The view is outstanding. Breakfast was awesome. They also have small lovely fish restaurant nearby. Parking might be troublesome and there are always stairs to climb, no elevator.

It is a family-run hotel in a nice building with history, you can see family photos on the walls. We liked breakfasts, especially homemade bread rolls with cheese and herbs inside. Our room had a terrace and a great view onto the harbour with fishing boats. It’s not a 5-star hotel, it’s not about that, you should come here for the atmosphere, calmness and authenticity. The hotel hasn’t got its own beach beds and umbrellas, but we walked a bit further and found a divine place with crystal clear water on a newly constructed wooden terrace - there was no one except us, such a lovely time we had, it cost 30 tl daily, no hustle and bustle. Initially planned to stay 2 nights but then stayed for one more.

Hotel is so comfortable and restaurant is so delicious. I highly recommend!

Run by a kind family. You shouldn't come with high expectations about facility as it is an old building like others in the area. Rooms are a bit small. Heating was good. Cleanness is not bad but should be improved a little bit. What you need to expect is authenticity and silence in this area. You may spend a bit more and choose Kervansaray if you are looking for a cosier place. I didn't stay there but had such an impression. Overall, was a good value for the price in autumn season.

It was as described and had great views of the sea. Service was ok but not great.

People are different both in wishes and needs. Our opinion about "Assos Yildiz" is that this was a great choice for us. The hotel was cozy, served good food and had a very engaged smiling personal who did their best for us during our two night stay. They were also able to communicate in English which is crucial are foreigners. We visited several restaurants in the area and just a couple of them had personal who were able to communicate with us. One catch on our hotel was the amount of cars passing by, as the hotel is located as one of the first ones. However, we for sure recommend that place.

We had raki & meze there. All mezes were tasty and had a good quality. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The space was cozy. We enjoyed every moment.
