Aşağıköy is a village in the central district (Bilecik) of Bilecik Province, Turkey. It is about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south of Bilecik. The state highway is to the west and the mountains are to the east of the village. The population of Aşağıköy was 1,087 as of 2013. The village had a mixed population (Turks and Greeks) before the First World War. But during the Greek occupation of the Western Anatolia in 1920-1922, the Turkish population suffered heavily and after the Turkish War of Independence, the Greeks left the village. Being near the city, most of the village population is composed of white or blue collar people.
