Assos and F-16s

We came to Assos yesterday. The historic town was founded in 700 BC. Aristotle lived here for few years before moving to Lesbos. Alexander the Great invaded the city in 330 BC. It is located at the top of a hill with a spectacular view of Aegaen Sea and the Greek Isles.

We climbed through the narrow streets between stone houses to reach the ancient site. It was a steep climb but kids did not complain. Again we were the only visitors. The highlight of the visit was five F-16s flying very low over us when standing at the Temple of Athena. They were probably coming back from a “Piss off the Greeks” mission over Aegean.
