From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cybeleia or Kybeleia ( Ancient Greek: Κυβέλεια) [1] or Cybellia [2] was a city of ancient Ionia. Strabo, after saying that the mountain Mimas is between Erythrae and the Hypocremnus, adds, "then a village Cybellia, and the promontory Melaena." This is all that is known.

Its site is tentatively located near the modern Badembükü. [3] [4]
