Years: 645BCE - 634BCE

Aeolians from Lesbos and Ionian Greeks from Miletus establish about twelve cities in the Thracian Cheronese, a region comprising the modern Gallipoli Peninsula, located on the European side of the Hellespont (the Dardanelles, in modern Turkey) in the seventh century BCE.

A major wheat-exporting region, it is on the main trade route between Europe and Asia; one of its cities, Sestos, is at the main crossing point of the Hellespont.
