Karakise, Türkiye
Issus
Issus or Issos was an ancient settlement on the strategic coastal plain straddling the small Pinarus River below the navigationally difficult inland mountains towering above to the east in the Turkish Province of Hatay, near the border with Syria. It can be identified with Kinet Höyük in the village of Yeşilköy near Dörtyol in Turkey's Hatay Province. Excavations on the mound occurred between 1992 and 2012 by Bilkent University.
