Its story

Apollonis is on the Konurca Kalesi hill near the Dereköy neighborhood and is thought to have been founded in the 160s BC, under Eumenes II, by bringing together various communities. The city takes its name from Apollonis, wife of King Attalus I of Pergamon, and Macedonian colonists were settled here. Although the remains have attracted researchers' interest since 1886, the site largely retains its natural appearance.
