Simav is a town and capital of the district of the same name in the Turkish province of Kütahya . The city is located about 100 kilometers southwest of the provincial capital Kütahya .

The river Simav Çayı , the ancient Makestos , flows north of the city and flows into the Sea of Marmara under the name Çapraz Çay . About six kilometers northwest of the city lies the dried up lake Simav Gölü (also Denizgölü ).
