36°32′32″N 22°23′20″E / 36.5422487°N 22.3888904°E / 36.5422487; 22.3888904Telepylos or Telepylus (Ancient Greek: Τηλέπυλος Tēlépylos, meaning "far-off port"[1] or "big-gated"[2]) was the mythological city of the Laestrygonians.

Iman Jacob Wilkens makes a less likely identification: the harbour of Havana, Cuba, believing that Ulysses had in fact crossed the Atlantic Ocean.

[3] The harbour, about which on both sides a sheer cliff runs continuously, and projecting headlands opposite to one another stretch out at the mouth, and the entrance is narrow, ..., and the ships were moored within the hollow harbour, for therein no wave ever swelled, great or small, but all about was a bright calm...[4]In Greek mythology, the name Telepylos is mentioned in the Odyssey (k 82, ps 318) the city or country of the Laistrygons ("laistrygonii").

The significant Laestrygonian associations with the Talayotic culture or pre-Talayotic culture in Balearic Islands have recently been admitted, and the interest in the description -let's think of one of the well-known ports of the Mediterranean-, allows us to believe that is a first and almost perfect port of Mahón.

Jasen Boko establishes Omiš as the most probable location, for its unique landscape that corresponds to the verses.
