Cayster River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cayster River (or Küçük Menderes) is located south of Izmir, Turkey. The Cayster generally flows westward into the Aegean Sea. The ancient city of Ephesus was once an important port on the Cayster, but with overgrazing and climate change over the centuries, sedimentation gradually filled in the inlet around the city. The coastlines moved seaward and the ruins of Ephesus are now some 5 miles inland from the coast.
