Castolus or Kastolos (Ancient Greek: Καστωλός) was a town of ancient Lydia.[1] Xenophon says that king Darius II appointed his son Cyrus the Younger, commander of all the forces that muster at the plain of Castolus (Castoli Campus; Καστωλοῦ πεδίον).[2]
The site of the plain of Castolus is fixed as the Burçak Ovası; the site of the town is unknown.[3]
