4 Best Hotels in Behramkale (Assos), The Sea of Marmara and the North Aegean

In two gorgeous old stone houses centered on a shady courtyard, Assos Alarga provides a serene and intimate stay in the quiet end of Behramkale village, and its small outdoor pool and garden ensure an idyllic getaway atmosphere. This was once the holiday home of the friendly proprietor, Ece, who equips her guest rooms—each uniquely decorated—with high-quality linens and many subtle design touches. No effort is spared to ensure that you have an unforgettable stay in this most romantic of settings. The delicious breakfast can be enjoyed on a sheltered terrace or in the courtyard garden.

Beautiful rooms and the warmest of welcomes make this sublimely tranquil boutique hotel a top choice for a peaceful getaway. Each of the cozy rooms in the lovely, 150-year-old Chili House is named after a variety of pepper grown in the garden, and each is unique, with wood paneling, Ottoman decoration, rescued-timber wood furniture, and walls tiled with pepper designs. The common areas, including a lounge/breakfast area and rooftop terrace with views all around, are equally charming, and the owner, Lütfi, is exceptionally affable.

The best of the waterside hotels in Assos port has rooms in a variety of sizes and styles, some of which have terrific view of the Aegean. Some are small and functional, some large and well appointed, so ask to see several if the hotel is not full. The hotel has both indoor and outdoor pools, as well as a swimming pier and rocky beach. There are several on-site restaurants; the half-board arrangement is required from May through October, but is optional in winter months.
