Today the village of Behramkale is known as Assos. Located on the hillside overlooking the village the Temple of Athena is very important for it is the only archaic period Doric example of its kind in Turkey. Visitors often remain in the temple grounds in the evening to watch the moon casting its light on the ruins or else visit the temple early in the morning to get a glimpse of the sun rising over the Edremit Bay stretched out below. Thanks to the numbers of artists who visit here, the town has also gained additional renown. The unique atmosphere of Assos, joined with its abundance of antique city ruins that were witness to history, has made this place a very original settlement.
