Ancient city of Paphlagonia
Cromna or Kromna (Ancient Greek: Κρῶμνα) was a town on the Paphlagonian coast, now in modern Turkey. It is mentioned by Homer in the Iliad.[1] It was 60 stadia east of Erythini and 90 west of Cytorus. There are autonomous coins of Cromna.
The site of Cromna has been the subject of some disagreement among sources: Amasra and Kurucaşile both being suggested. However, modern scholars place its site near modern Tekeönü in Bartın Province.[2][3]
