Kadýrga
Bay is a very silent, 2 km North Aegean beach with a perfect sea
shore. Besides its unique natural beauty, the bay is important
for its closeness to historical sites. It is only 2 km away from
the Antic port of Assos. On the east side, the bay views Ayvalik
and on the west, it has a view of Greek island Lesbos.
The Sea
Assos Kadirga Bay is one of the beaches of Turkey that is awarded
with a Blue Flag (is an award that is given to beaches and marinas
that have met stringent standards). The sea is admired for the
quality and coolness of the water, for the magnificent colors
and shapes of pebbles and also for the beatufiul piles of fish
that swim next to you.
The Seabed
Beginning from the end of the Bay till the Babakale, it is forbidden
to dive (with a tube). But the east seabed of the bay gives you
a great pleasure. Cruising with a snorkel can also be exciting.
In Kadirga Bay, you may find yourself spending hours swimming
and cruising the seabed. Also the bay is a perfect place to teach
children the beauty of sea nature and help them get ecological
education.
The Climate
In Kadirga Bay you can feel the striking effect of the change
of climate. You can easily feel fresh by the cool breeze of Kaz
Daglari (Ida Mountains) and the oak trees. It is ever too hot
nor cold.
The Sun
Although you can have full advantage of the sun, the cool Aegean
summer sea-breeze that comes in the evenings keeps you fresh and
chilly during the night. No humidity at all! Therefore Kadirga
Bay is also good for elders and patients with blood pressure troubles.
But after a rainy day sun comes out and dries everything quickly.
The Earth
The site is known for its olive trees but there is also an endemic
type of lily which is called “Sand Lily”. It has a
heavenly odour and a marvelous white color.
Besides these, during spring, everywhere is full of corn roses,
the hills fills with brooms, the beach becomes full of the April
daisies and you can easily come across calendula officinalis.
On the way to Küçükkuyu, there are lots of pomegranate
and tangerine trees.
Sports
Walking along the beach is itself an extremely comforting activity.
Besides walking you can go biking) or motorcycling. (from the
bay to Küçükkuyu the road is full of olive and
fruit trees).
Other then during breezy hours, you can hop on a pedalo or a canoe
(which is generally early times in the morning).
Kadirga Bay once was known as a heaven for surfers but now, due
to the oblivion of enterprises, you can not see so many professional
surfers. The Aegean summer sea-breeze that starts almost every
evening brings out the bay as a perfect site for surfing.
Hobbies
Kadirga Bay is also a perfect site for fishing. Almost every time
of the year, The shore is filled with fishermen that spend the
whole night at the beach. Some of the fish that you can fish are:
sea bass, gilt-head bream, sea bream, sargo, garfish and etc.
Cultural Inherit
Another fact that enriches Assos region is “philosophy”.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC) who studied under
Plato has established a philosophy school in the Antic City, Assos
during 347 and 344 BC. This fact that intrigues academicians,
artists and researchers comes out as a variety of national and
international activities during spring and summer; conferences,
seminars, festivals and other cultural activities especially on
philosophy..
