Saying goodbye to Ece |
The Assos Alarga was a real find. Three lovely guest rooms, a living room, pool, terrace, game room, spectacular views, steps from the Temple of Athena, and the incomparable innkeeper Ece. This was her family's summer home. She left a career in Istanbul working with software in the hotel business to try running this place as a B & B after her parents decided to sell it. This is the place to stay, I think, rather than up in Canakkale. There's a picturesque harbor down the steep hill about a kilometer where we had a fish dinner at the Assos Keravansaray Hotel. All was quiet in the off-season. Monday morning dawned bright and sunny and after a marvelous breakfast, we walked up to the temple.
