Set 90 km from \u00c7anakkale and 18 km from Ayvac\u0131k, Assos is convenient to a number of other places worth seeing! Use Assos as a base for excursions to Bozcaada, Canakkale, Bal\u0131kesir, Mount Ida, Edremit and Ayval\u0131k. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFeaturing a panoramic view of Edremit Bay, peaceful Assos offers several swimming options. In addition to Kad\u0131rga and Sivrice bays, there\u2019s the even quieter Sokaka\u011fz\u0131 Bay. The coastline between K\u00fc\u00e7\u00fckkuyu and Assos has pebble beaches and wood piers for swimming; along the shore are campsites and small pensions, so whether you plan to spend a day or several, you\u2019ll find something that suits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn addition to gorgeous scenery, Assos has delectable cuisine. Whether you dine at a restaurant overlooking the Assos port or in a rustic fish eatery, you\u2019ll find delicious dishes: hunter\u2019s pastry, stuffed squash blossoms, horse beans in olive oil, pancakes with herbs, salad with grilled octopus, swordfish skewers, grilled squid and grouper, scorpionfish soup, stuffed calamari and sea beans. A unique regional snack is black mulberry soup and you\u2019ll see it everywhere. Purchase olive oils and lemon thyme and bring a little bit of the North Aegean home with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nEstablished during the Ottoman Era, the hillside Behramkale Village is quite small, with just 150 households. Picturesque shops selling herbs, olive oils, homemade tarhana and handmade lace line the village\u2019s narrow, stone-paved streets. As you ascend the hill, you\u2019ll see the historical H\u00fcdavendigar Mosque and the Ottoman-era H\u00fcdavendigar Bridge. We recommend an afternoon walk up the hill, reaching the top just in time for sunset. Enjoy a relaxing tea and scenic views, with Lesbos Island opposite and Kad\u0131rga Bay below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAlso on the foothills of Mount Ida, the villages of Ye\u015filyurt and Adatepe are worth visiting if you have time and access to a vehicle. Similar to Behramkale, <\/strong>both villages have stone houses and narrow, winding roads. Sample Ye\u015filyurt\u2019s fabulous lavender ice cream and taste the olive oil made in Adatepe Village.

Scuba diving, snorkeling and spear fishing are popular activities; take a break in one of the village\u2019s coffee houses. There\u2019s even a castle, which was built to protect the village from pirates. A final tip: livestock graze on the thyme-covered hills behind the village, so the dairy products are sensational.

Serene foothills of Mount Ida: Adatepe and Ye\u015filyurt villages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAlso on the foothills of Mount Ida, the villages of Ye\u015filyurt and Adatepe are worth visiting if you have time and access to a vehicle. Similar to Behramkale, <\/strong>both villages have stone houses and narrow, winding roads. Sample Ye\u015filyurt\u2019s fabulous lavender ice cream and taste the olive oil made in Adatepe Village. And there are terrific views of Edremit Bay from the Altar of Zeus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nThe westernmost tip of the Asian continent and Aegean flavors: Babakale<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor your last day in Assos, venture a bit further (27 km) to the westernmost tip of Asia where you\u2019ll find Babakale, a quaint Ottoman fishing village. Here, you can dine on Aegean-style appetizers and fish, or buy capers, which are grown in the area. Scuba diving, snorkeling and spear fishing are popular activities; take a break in one of the village\u2019s coffee houses. There\u2019s even a castle, which was built to protect the village from pirates. A final tip: livestock graze on the thyme-covered hills behind the village, so the dairy products are sensational. Try the ezine cheese, made of 80% sheep\u2019s milk and 20% goat\u2019s milk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
