Assos was a port city on the Aegean coast of the Roman province of Asia, in the district of Mysia, facing the island of Lesbos. Paul traveled to Assos on foot while his companions sailed around by ship, and he rejoined them there to continue toward Jerusalem (Acts 20:13-14). The city's well-preserved ruins, including a Doric temple of Athena on its acropolis, still stand above the modern Turkish village of Behramkale.
