We consider ourselves very lucky by living in Çanakkale which amazes people with the blue of the sea, with the green of the hills, with the warm people and with its delicious cuisine. Even we were far away, we have missed and lived with its memory. How to get back was always one of our main topics. We had two choices, those days. Thinking of or realizing our dream, and we chose the latter living our dream...

For that dream, we settled down in one of the best part of Çanakkale, in Assos, and started to meet you.We always think about how to make our guests’ one week holiday better thanks to insights that I got while I used to work at Istanbul. We think of every dream that I had while working full time and what I would plan to do in those busy days.

Especially in a busy and tiring working environment like Istanbul, we aimed to serve by thinking about what we dream of and what we want to do in this most exciting week of the year. We aimed to get to know you in these happy times, to meet happy new guests every day, to make you happier during your holiday times and to be happy as you make them happy.

We formed a team to consider you as a “guest”, not as a “customer”, to offer you a perfect vacation and to assure you that you are not going to get any “no”s.

As a family, we are trying to make and let you fell at home with our warm atmosphere and amateur spirit.

Keep your heart fresh, we are waiting for the day you will be our guest with a team that understands you very well, knows what you want, listen to you and wait to do the best.

Assos is an ancient city located on the opposite side of Edremit Bay and Lesbos (Midilli) Island, on the foot of an archaic volcano, standing on andesite rocks.It is occupying such a position that Aegean Sea and Lesbos Island is on the South, Troia is on North, Lekton (Babakale) town is on the West and Mount Ida is on the East, while Pergamon (Bergama) is located on the southeast side of it.

The importance of the city comes from being close to those location which also has contributed the social, cultural and economic life especially on the ancient years.

In the northern corner of the acropolis, at the exit of the archaeological site, there is a mosque built in the 14th century during the reign of Ottoman Sultan Murat I. There is a bridge and a castle inside your observation area. There is a small and cute harbor at the bottom of the ruins.

When it was active, Assos became rich thanks to the passing ships as it had the only large port in its region. The city also has a large amphitheater.

One of the greatest philosophers of all time, Aristotle spent a period of his life here. He founded and operated a school of philosophy between 347 and 344 BC. His aim was to realize the ideal form of state that Plato (Plato) mentioned in his famous work State (Republic). For this purpose, he came from Athens and came here.
