Apollonia (Mysia)

Apollonia (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλωνία) was a town of ancient Mysia, Anatolia, situated on an eminence east of Pergamum, on the way to Sardis. It seems to have been near the borders of Mysia and Lydia.

For the town also in Mysia, on the ancient Rhyndacus river, see Apollonia ad Rhyndacum.
