Platanus (Cilicia)
Platanus or Platanous (Ancient Greek: Πλατανοῦς) was a town on the coast of Cilicia Aspera, west of Anemurium. The Stadiasmus Maris Magni places Platanus 350 stadia from Anemurium,[1] which is most likely incorrect. William Smith posited a distance of 150 stadia.
Platanus is tentatively located near modern , in Asiatic Turkey.[2][3]
