The remains of the ancient settlement, which is now referred to as Kaleköy, or Castle Village, are situated in close proximity to the town of Kiraz in the Izmir Province of Turkey. A ruined gymnasium is the best preserved structure, which is incorrectly referred to as the castle by some residents.

Although there are no written sources about this settlement, a closer look at the gymnasium reveals that the use of the semi-curved vault construction technique indicates the possibility that this building was erected in the Late Roman or Early Byzantine period.

The gymnasium is the only structure that has survived largely intact until now. The settlement area was primarily concentrated on the sloping land between the surroundings of the gymnasium and the sloping hills and plains in the east. In addition to the gymnasium, this location also boasts vaulted structures and foundation ruins. The necropolis of the settlement extends over a considerable area on both sides of the road towards the south, in the direction of Kaleköy-Haliller road.

Furthermore, around twenty ancient vaulted structures have been identified in the area, and some of them are used by the villagers of Kaleköy as animal shelters and haylofts.

The Kaleköy ruins and its surroundings were registered as a 1st Degree Protected Area in 1999 by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and Natural Heritage Preservation Board.

The ruins are located around 150 km to the east of Izmir. To get there, follow the D310 road to Kiraz, then drive around 8 km and turn off to the south in the direction of Kaleköy.
