a strong and considerable town of Turkey in Europe, and in Livadia, with an archbishop's see and a strong fort. It is built on the top of a mountain, in form of a sugar-loaf; and is divided into four towns, each surrounded by walls, and commanded by a castle on the top of the mountain. The harbour is very small, and may be shut up by a chain, the entrance being but 50 feet wide. It was taken from the Turks by the Venetians in 1673; but was afterwards evacuated, and the castle demolished in 1699, in consequence of the treaty of Carlowitz. It was near this town that Don John of Austria obtained the famous victory over the Turkish fleet in 1571. The produce of the adjacent country is wine, oil, corn, and rice. Turkey leather is also manufactured here. The wine would be exceeding good if they did not pitch their vessels on the inside, but this renders the taste very disagreeable to those who are not accustomed to it. The Turks have six or seven mosques here, and the Greeks two churches. It is seated on a gulf of the same name, anciently called the gulf of Corinth. E. Long. 22. 11. N. Lat. 38. 34.
