Babakale, the westernmost point of the Asian Continent, is a cute village on the Aegean Sea coast in the Ayvacık district of Çanakkale city. We recommend that you revise your route to include these places while traveling from Çanakkale to Assos holiday resort.
This is where the Asian continent ends. We are at the farthest point towards the west. For this reason, when you come to Babakale, if requested by the headman's office, a special certificate is given to you to certify that you have arrived at the end of the Asian continent. For your information, obtaining the certification may be tempting to some.
After all, the fact that this certificate is issued in only two countries in the world makes the job interesting. We think you can experience the happiness of being in an exciting place. One of these certificates is given in Turkey - Babakale (where the Asian continent ends) and the other in Portugal - Capo da Roca (where the European continent ends).
You can reach Babakale on the Ayvacık and Assos road from the Ezine - Gülpınar route. Do not forget to visit historical places in Gülpınar. Among the ancient temples in the region, Apollon Smintheus, which is the second most important temple after the Temple of Athena, is one of the places to visit around Babakale. There is also a small museum in the area where the city is located, where the remains of the ancient period are exhibited.
The village of Babakale, which is by the sea, is located against the island of Lesbos in the Aegean Sea. Babakale Castle, which has an important place in history, was a checkpoint before the entrance to Çanakkale. This town is also a place for those looking for a quiet holiday. There are hostels for accommodation in Babakale. When you go down from the castle, the harbor area is the shelter of the fishing boats. You can easily enter the sea from the port. We should only point out that the shore is stony. But the sea is amazing.
There is also Akliman near Babakale. Here are the places of summer cottages.
What to do in Babakale?
You can wander around the port of Babakale, which is located at the most extreme point in the west of Asia, and cool off and sunbathe on the beach is one of the summer activities to be done. Babakale Castle, which is close to the beach, should also be visited.
With its location opening to the Aegean Sea, Bababurnu is said to be very suitable for activities such as scuba diving and spearfishing.
