Discover the sights of Assos, where Aristotle changed history

The sights of Assos, one of the best but least known of the historical sites on Turkey's Aegean coast, include beaches, traditional stone houses, and the ruins of one of Classical history’s most interesting cities. Assos is where Aristotle narrowly avoided being crucified, before his student, Alexander the Great, returned to Assos bent on revenge against Persia. Assos is conveniently placed on a pleasant section of Aegean coast and is easily reachable from Istanbul or Izmir.
