| Location: It is located within the borders of the Selçuk District in Izmir. |
| Geography and Environment: The Hellenistic and Roman settlement of the city rests on the skirts of the Mount Panayir. It was founded next to the gulf where the Küçük Menderes (Kaystros) River spills into the sea [Erdemgil-Büyükkolanci 1991:265]. The recent excavations suggest that the ancient Ephesus was actually located on the Ayasuluk Hill [Büyükkolanci 1998:73-75]. |
