From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Adramyttium
     a city of Asia Minor on the coast of Mysia, which in early times
     was called AEolis. The ship in which Paul embarked at Caesarea
     belonged to this city (Acts 27:2). He was conveyed in it only to
     Myra, in Lycia, whence he sailed in an Alexandrian ship to
     Italy. It was a rare thing for a ship to sail from any port of


     Palestine direct for Italy. It still bears the name Adramyti,
     and is a place of some traffic.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
