Dragged ourselves away from our gorgeous hotel and up the hill to visit the ruins of Assos. Dating from 10th century BC . Usual chequered and colourful history, Aristotle, Xenocrates St Paul among some of the notable visitors.

Leaving Assos we passed this beautiful Ottoman bridge
Next stop Troy. Short hours drive, excellent new road, not too many examples of bizarre Turkish driving.

This shows all the different layers of civilisations
Excavations
