The Kaz Mountains, which Homer refers to as the “mother of wild animals with many springs” in the “Iliad Saga,” and where Aphrodite is the beauty of the Kaz Mountains in love with Paris, are one of Turkey’s most unique areas. It is full of surprises waiting to be found, with its cultural patchwork villages, natural wonders, waterfalls, and sophisticated museums. Especially when the autumn sun shines on its unique landscape.
Assos
One of the most quiet getaway locations in the Kaz Mountains is Assos, the home of Aristotle, where one of the most famous philosophers in the world, Aristotle, lived for a while and created a school of thought. It has a bohemian feel about it. Assos is divided into three regions: the old port, Behramkale Village, and the Ancient City of Assos. While maintenance on the old port continues, it is currently closed. Despite being a port city, Assos is situated on a hill 250 metres from the sea. At the gateway of Assos’ walls is Behramkale Village. The awe-inspiring Temple of Athena is the most important ruin in the ancient city.
Adatepe Village
It is highly fascinating to walk around the streets of Adatepe Village, Zeus’s home, where Ottoman mansions and Greek stone dwellings coexist. Stone School is the first stop in the village. The structure was repaired and turned into a centre for philosophy, literature, art, and history. Stop by the village coffee in the shade of two plane trees for a coffee break. The Zeus Altar is a short walk from the village’s entrance. Zeus, the god of the gods, is said to have witnessed and ruled the Battle of Troy from this location.

Kaz Mountains National Park
The story is so sad, but the vista is breathtaking. Suven Waterfall and Hasan Drowned Kaz Mountains National Park, Hasan Drowned Waterfall.
