From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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]
