The Temple of Athena in the ancient city of Assos, Turkey
The Temple of Athena in the ancient city of Assos, Turkey, is located at the highest point of Assos, with the Aegean Sea coastline below. Across the sea, you can gaze at the hometown of the poetess Sappho, Lesvos Island, where the sea and sky blend into a clear blue.
The columns of the Temple of Athena are Doric, embodying people's faith in Athena. The current temple ruins are mostly broken walls and remnants, with only a few columns left, but it is still worth a visit, filled with a sacred and elegant atmosphere~
