A second, northern port has been discovered underwater at the 2,700-year-old site of the city of Parion, which is located on the coast of northwestern Anatolia, according to a Hürriyet Daily News report. "This port is a little smaller in size than the southern port, that is, the trade port, and its inner part is filled with alluvium accumulated by the stream passing through the city," said archaeologist Vedat Keleş of Ondokuz Mayis University. "Parion is a legion colony. Therefore, there may be a possibility that this place is a military port," he explained. Keleş and his colleagues plan to continue the investigation of the newly found port, in addition to the excavation of the city's agora and theater.
