MACHU, or MAKEY, a seaport-town on the S.W. coast of Anatolia, Asiatic Turkey, N. Lat. 36° 37', E. Long. 29° 9', being 52 miles E.N.E. of Rhodes, and 125 S.E. of Smyrna. The modern town, which consists of a collection of about fifty wretched huts, is built on the site of the ancient Telmessus, in the midst of a landscape of unrivalled beauty, although the town and neighbourhood are extremely unhealthy. There are still to be seen the remains of an ancient theatre in very good preservation, besides many tombs of various ages. The harbour, anciently called Glaneus, is very good, being sheltered from the sea by the island of Cavaliere, and running into the land to the distance of 12 or 15 miles. It is at this place that travellers from Constantinople to Syria embark, and there is generally a great number of vessels in the bay. The trade of the town is extensive, and consists of wood, tar, honey, cattle, salt, and nuts, with many of which articles it supplies Rhodes. Provisions in this town are easily and cheaply procured.

This is also the name of a seaport in Rumili, 75 miles S.W. of Adrianople. The harbour is defended by a castle, and the town is the residence of a Greek bishop. It is the capital of a district, and its population is about 3000.
