Neonteichos, Historic site in Yanıkköy Mahallesi, Turkey.
The ancient remains of Neonteichos occupy a strategic position between the former Hermus River and the town of Larissa in western Turkey.
The Aeolians constructed Neonteichos as a temporary fortification during their initial settlement in Asia Minor, approximately eight years after establishing Cyme.
The name Neonteichos derives from Ancient Greek, meaning 'new wall', reflecting the Greek settlement patterns along the Aegean coast of Turkey.
The archaeological site sits at coordinates 38.6594° N and 27.0919° E, with current excavations revealing structural foundations from different historical periods.
Ancient texts by Strabo indicate that Neonteichos predates the settlement of Cyme, contradicting other historical sources about its chronological establishment.
