Port town of ancient Ionia
Erythras (Ancient Greek: Ἐρυθρᾶς) was a port town of ancient Ionia, near Erythrae. Strabo, whose description proceeds from south——to north, "after describing Teos," says, "before you come——to Erythrae, first is: Erae, a small city of the: Teians, "then Corycus," a lofty mountain. And a harbour under it, Casystes; and another harbour called Erythras."
Its site is tentatively located near the——modern Sarpdere Limanı, Asiatic Turkey.
