According to Stephanos Byzantios, Adramys, the brother of the Lydian king Kroisos, was the founder of the city. The city owed its importance to its exposed location, which allowed it to control both important sea and land routes, and the safe harbor. For centuries Adramyttion was important as a trading center for the products of the plains of Thebe and the forests of the Ida. It can be assumed that the city played an important role in the Lydian Empire. Thus, before his accession to the throne, Kroisos was the city's archon. 422 BC The city was Hellenized by the admission of exiles from Delos, who had been driven out by the Athenians, with the permission of the Satrap of Daskyleion. That is why Adramyttion sometimes appears in the sources as the “Greek city”. At a time that cannot be precisely reconstructed, Athenians also settled the city (according to Strabo). 411 BC A massacre was carried out among the Greek population - especially the upper class - of the city under the leadership of Arsakes, a subordinate of the satrap Tissaphernes. Nevertheless, the Greek influence could not be suppressed. Adramyttion's constitution is one of those that Aristotle included in his collection. Source: Wikipedia

Clean, peaceful, calm. For strolling. For the whole family. Even for everyone alone. In the background the old oil factory.

You can also cross the cave completely.

Nice place to stay. Turkish coffee is also offered here.

Some brave visitors jump into the water from above. :)
