Pedasa

Pedasa (Ancient Greek: Πήδασα or τὰ Πήδασα), also known as Pedasus or Pedasos (Πήδασος), and as Pedasum, was a town of ancient Caria. It was a polis (city-state) by c. 400 BCE. Alexander the Great deprived the place of its independence by giving it over to the Halicarnassians, together with five other neighbouring towns.

For another town in Caria also called Pedasa, see Pidasa. For the town of ancient Mysia, see Pedasa (Mysia).

It was a member of the Delian League.

Its site is near the modern Gökçeler.
