Ionia

Ionia was a pseudo-polis located on the western coast of Anatolia, present-day Turkey.

Legacy

Ionia was known for its variety of white grapes called psythias or psythia which produced a very sweet wine known today as Liasto.^[1] Another claim to fame from the region was as the birthplace for Greek philosophy after the 7th-6th centuries BCE. The first philosophers dedicated themselves to natural philosophy and were called physikoi or physiologoi.^[2]
