WELCOME to my house.
My name comes from the city of KIOS,which is found in PROPONTIS.
It lies in the recess of the KIANON GULF, at the foot of the ARGATHONION mountain near the mouth of the KIANOS river.
Kios belongs to the province of BITTHYNIA.
The mountain of OLYMPUS of BURSA lies to the South, and the Kianos or Ascanios river starts from the ASCANIA lake and ends in the Gulf of Kios. To the East lies the Ascania lake and to the west the southern part of Propontis.
It is about 48 miles from ISTANBUL (CONSTANTINOPLE) and 30 kms from BURSA (PRUSIA).
The famous city of NICEA is in northeast of Kios and other neighbouring coastal cities include ; MUDANYA (old name MYRLEIA and later APAMEIA), ELEGMOI, SIGI, TRIGLEIA (TRILYE ,the old city of BRYLLION), DASKYLEION (one of the biggest SATRAPY center of the PERSIAN Empire), ARTAKE, PERAMOS, PANORMOS etc.
To the North of Kios, the Argathonio mountain ends at CAPE POSEIDON, where the TEMPLE to the god Poseidon used to be.
The TURKS call it GEMLIK.
