| Location: It is close to the village of Balat; in the area where the Menderes River joins the Aegean Sea; to the west of the province of Aydin. The importance of the settlement during Antiquity is not debatable. It is very easy to access. Miletos is one of the few sites in Turkey which has a museum to display only the finds of its own. |
| Geography and Environment: The EBA settlement; like the antique city; is on a cape on the shore of the gulf. It is not clear how the inhabitants of this site supplied their drinking water. |
