Hamaxitus

Hamaxitus was an ancient Greek city in the southwest of the Troad region of Anatolia, considered to mark the boundary between the Troad and Aeolis. Its surrounding territory, known in Greek as Hamaxitia, included the temple of Apollo Smintheus, the salt pans at Tragasai, and the Satnioeis river, and it was probably an Aeolian colony. The site has been located on a rise called Beşiktepe near the village of Gülpınar in the Ayvacık district of Çanakkale Province, Turkey.
