Histories

Now these Ionians possessed the Panionion [27.1167,37.6833] (Perseus) Panionion, and of all men whom we know, they happened to found their cities in places with the loveliest of climate and seasons.

For neither to the north of them nor to the south does the land effect the same thing as in Ionia (region (general)), Europe Ionia [nor to the east nor to the west], affected here by the cold and wet, there by the heat and drought.
