Located in Eastern Sarpedon, Asteklion and the territory it encompasses consists of mountainous mainland with small, fractal islands scattering the coastline. The city centre crests upon a hill adjacent to the Kostos river and stretches downstream and along the mainland. Sixty percent of Asteklion consists of mountains or hills, making it one of the most mountainous in Sarpedon, as well as being a military and infrastructural nightmare. The country acts a gateway and barrier for north-south travel of the Kostos river and historically served as a strategic objective. The Istrian mountain range within the territory reaches a maximum elevation of 2,198m at Mt. Samala. | Located in Eastern Sarpedon, Asteklion and the territory it encompasses consists of mountainous mainland with small, fractal islands scattering the coastline.
