[edit] History

The ancient city of Adramyteion (Latin: Adramyttium), which was an Athenian colony, is located on the western coast of the district. Burhaniye was previously named Kemer, which means aqueduct. It comes from the ruins of an ancient aqueduct. Adramyteion mentioned in the New Testament (Acts 27:2), as a city of Asia Minor on the coast of Mysia, which was called Aeolis in classical antiquity. The ship in which Apostle Paul embarked at Caesarea belonged to this city (Acts 27:2). He was conveyed in it only to Myra, in Lycia, whence he sailed in an Alexandrian ship to Italy.
