Asopus or Asopos (Ancient Greek: Ἀσωπός), also known as Asopolis (Ἀσώπολις),[1] was a town of ancient Laconia, on the eastern side of the Laconian Gulf, 60 stadia south of Acriae.
At the distance of 12 stadia above the town there was a temple of Asclepius.
[2][3][4][1] Pausanias says that at the foot of the acropolis of Asopus were the ruins of the city of the Achaei Paracyparissii.
Its site is located near the modern Plytra.
