From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Miletus
     (Miletum, 2 Tim. 4:20), a seaport town and the ancient capital
     of Ionia, about 36 miles south of Ephesus. On his voyage from
     Greece to Syria, Paul touched at this port, and delivered that
     noble and pathetic address to the elders ("presbyters," ver. 28)
     of Ephesus recorded in Acts 20:15-35. The site of Miletus is now


     some 10 miles from the coast. (See EPHESIANS, EPISTLE {TO}.)
