Location: It is located inside the metropolis of Izmir on the northeast. It could have been saved from a severe damage only after being announced as a registered site. It is also known as Tepekule.
Geography and Environment: It is situated east-northeast of the Izmir Gulf. It is 14 m high. To the west flows the stream of Meles. Today the site is far from the shoreline. However; it is suggested that it used to be on the coast during the settlements with two ports on both sides of an outcrop [Akurgal 1983:fig.1-2]. Eventually; it was abandoned since it was close to the swamp. The rock underneath is 6.4 m high.
