The Ancient City of Adramytteion is situated approximately 3.5 kilometers west of the center of Burhaniye District, Balıkesir Province, surrounded by an alluvial plain along the coastline, on an elevation with four ridges and its slopes. It is located beneath the Ören District, nestled in a well-preserved state. Under the conditions of the archaeological site, this ancient city, which has been largely untouched beneath the present-day living fabric, stands as one of the rare examples in our country where the intersection of modern and ancient settlements has been preserved, with most of its remains still concealed underground.
