Aigai (Aeolian)

Aigai is an ancient Greek site in Aeolis, modern North-West Turkey, situated at a rather high altitude almost on top of the Mount Gün ("Dağı"), part of the mountain chain of Yunt ("Dağları"). It lies western Anatolia in the modern village of Yuntdağı Köseler, in the Manisa district. The easier road to the site however departs from İzmir's Aliağa district, through the bifurcation for Şakran township. Aigai lhad its brightest period under the Attalid dynasty that ruled from nearby Pergamon in the 3rd and 2nd century BC.
