Detailed explanation-1: -Ionia (/aɪˈoʊniə/) was an ancient region on the western coast of Anatolia, to the south of present-day Izmir. It consisted of the northernmost territories of the Ionian League of Greek settlements. Never a unified state, it was named after the Ionians who had settled in the region before the Archaic period.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ionia was a region of ancient Greece located on the shores of Asia Minor, or modern-day Turkey. The Ionian people were originally from mainland Greece, but sailed across the Aegean Sea and began to colonize Asia Minor in roughly 1000 BCE.
