An ancient town on the Hellespont in the district of Thrake (Thrace) and opposite the city of Abydos.
Sestos is noted as the point where the Persian king, Xerxes, crossed the Hellespont on a pontoon bridge during his failed invasion of Greece in 490 BCE; also, Sestos was the home of the priestess of Aphrodite, Hero, before she and her lover, Leander, were drowned.
