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-Scylax3
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.45
