Sermylia

Sermylia (Ancient Greek: Σερμυλία),¹ or Sermyle (Σερμύλη),²³ was a town of Chalcidice, between Galepsus and Mecyberna. The town gave its name to the Toronaic Gulf, which was also called Sermylicus Sinus (κόλπος Σερμυλικός - kolpos Sermylikos). Pseudo Scylax writes that it was a Greek city.⁴ It was a member of the Delian League.⁵

The site of Sermylia is near the modern Ormylia.⁶⁷
