About Assos (Behramkale)
Perched on a volcanic hill overlooking the Aegean Sea and the island of Lesbos, Assos is famed for its Doric Temple of Athena and the ancient school of philosophy founded by Aristotle. Below the hilltop stone-house village of Behramkale lies the Ancient Harbor, known for boutique stone hotels converted from restored acorn warehouses. Following past rockfalls, the harbor area was declared a disaster zone by Turkey's AFAD disaster agency and closed to private vehicles with barriers — a VIP transfer driver drops guests at the barrier and pre-coordinates luggage logistics with the hotel.
