The Hermos (today Gediz) River is the second-longest river in Anatolia flowing into the Aegean Sea. From its source of Mount Murat in Kütahya Province, it flows generally west for 401 km to the Gediz River Delta in the Gulf of İzmir. The Hermos separated Aeolia from Ionia, except for Ionic Phokaia, which was north of the Hermos. The Hermos River flows through the southern part of Aeolis not far from Kyme. The valley of the Hermos was the heartland of the ancient Lydian Empire and overlooking the valley was the Lydian capital Sardis.
