Cobrys

Coastal Greek town in ancient Thrace

Cobrys or Kobrys (Ancient Greek: Κῶβρυς)^[1] was a coastal Greek town in ancient Thrace, on the Thracian Chersonesus.^[2] It is mentioned in the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax^[3]

It was an Emporium of the Cardia.^[3]

There have been unconvincing attempts to identify Cobrys with Crobyle.^[2] Cobrys' site is located 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Kavak Suyu, in European Turkey.^[4]^[5]
