While staying at Assos Troy Beach Hotel, you don't have to limit your vacation to only the popular routes. Thanks to its location, our hotel offers guests the opportunity to discover the less-known, hidden cultural treasures of the Assos and Troas regions. One of the most important of these treasures is the Apollon Smintheion Temple, reachable with just a half-hour drive from our hotel.
This Hellenistic period temple, located in Gülpınar village, is dedicated to Apollon Smintheus, also known as the "God of Mice." What makes it special are the incredibly masterfully carved reliefs on marble blocks depicting scenes from Homer's Iliad. These friezes offer the chance to read the story of the Trojan War as if from a stone book. Adding this stop to your Assos travel guide will enrich your perspective on the region's history.
Assos Troy Beach Hotel, one of the best answers to the question of where to stay in Assos, provides its guests with the advantage of both enjoying Kadırga Bay and easily accessing special archaeological sites like Apollon Smintheion. After a day filled with history and archaeology, returning to the comfortable rooms and sea view of our hotel will be one of the most beautiful memories of your holiday.
