Aristotle and Paul
The Doric columns of the Temple of Athena in Assos overlooking the Aegean Sea from an 800-foot cliff.
Assos: Where Philosophy, Scripture, and the Aegean Meet
Colossal columns rise upright at the restored Temple of Athena in Assos. These pillars, featuring their distinctive Doric style, were originally erected in the 6th century BC. Standing at the ruins, the cliff drops 800 feet directly into the Aegean Sea. As you might imagine, the vista is spectacular!
Historically, sailors approaching the coast used this temple's distinctive outline as a landmark. Tucked into the jagged rocks in the shadows far below lies the ancient harbor—the very heart of the city's maritime life.
A Deep History of Famous Residents
The history of Assos stretches back to the Early Bronze Age, but its "guest list" is what truly sets it apart:
The Philosopher: Aristotle, its most famous resident, lived and taught here for several years.
The Apostle: St. Paul, its most famous visitor, famously walked there to meet his companions here (see Acts 20:13).

Josephus knew about it and them
For those who are curious about the landscape of the biblical world, the Rhine River may seem to be a stretch, a reach, a foul ball. The Rhine (Grk Ρήνος, Lat Rhenus) is an unlikely entry in a Bible dictionary or atlas. It is unrecognized in the biblical text. And yet, this waterway and those who peopled its banks were known in the New Testament world, more by reputation than experience.
