Iasos was an antique city at the coast Kariens in small Asia (today Turkey, in the proximity of the village Kiyikislacik). It originally lay on an island, which was connected later with the mainland.

Iasos ranks among the ionischen cities in small Asia (although it was created allegedly from Argos). Newer excavations showed that it was settled since mykenischer time. Like its neighbour cities (e.g. Milet) belonged to Iasos temporarily to the Atti sea-federation and to the Perserreich, since 129 v. Chr. to the Roman province Asia. The settlement existed up to 15. /16. Century away, then was left the place.

The city plant from brightistic and Roman time (among other things Stadtmauer, Agora, theatre, city hall, aquaduct) is investigated by in particular Italian excavations. Numerous inscriptions were found thereby, an idea of internal conditions of the city to give.
