Ionia,(Iyonya)
..ancient region comprising the central sector of the western coast of Anatolia (now in Turkey, Aydin and Izmir Cities Coastal Places.). It was bounded by the regions of Aeolis on the north and Caria on the south and included the adjacent islands. Ionia consisted of a coastal strip about 25 miles (40 km) wide that extended from Phocaea at the mouth of the Hermus River in the north to the territory of Miletus south of the Maeander River, thus extending for a north-south distance of about 100 miles (160 km). Its habitable area consisted principally of three flat river valleys, the Hermus (modern Gediz), Cayster (Küçük Menderes), and Maeander (Büyük Menderes), that led down between mountain ranges of 5,000–6,000 feet (1,500–1,800 m) to empty into deeply recessed gulfs of the Aegean coast.
The region bordered on the Hittite empire before 1200 BC. This particular stretch of coast was known as Asia by the early Greeks. The name Ionia, however, does not appear in any records of this time, and Homer does not recognize any Ionic settlement of the Asiatic coast in Achaean times. The name Ionia must therefore have been first applied to this coast subsequent to the collapse of the Achaean kingdoms in Greece in the face of the Dorian invasion, when Ionic Greek refugees migrated eastward across the Aegean to Anatolia about 1000–900 BC. ( This was the source of inspiration of Iyonya Foreign Trades Company Logo )
The original Greek settlements in the region were numerous and small, but by the 8th century BC they had confirmed their possession of the whole coastline and had consolidated themselves into 12 major cities—Phocaea, Erythrae, Clazomenae, Teos, Lebedus, Colophon, Ephesus, Priene, Myus, and Miletus on the mainland, with the islands Chios and Samos. These Greek Ionian cities formed an exclusive religious league, the Panionion.
