Assos Ancient City is located in Behramkale Village, approximately 17 km south of Ayvacik district of Canakkale. It was founded on the summit and slopes of a volcanic hill, opposite the island of Lesbos, at the southern end of the region called Troas in ancient times. Throughout history, the region, which was under the rule of Lydia, Persia, Pergamon, Rome, was abandoned in the Middle Ages.
