Cromna orKromna (Ancient Greek:Κρῶμνα) was a town on thePaphlagonian coast, now in modernTurkey. It is mentioned byHomer in theIliad.[1] It was 60stadia east ofErythini and 90 west ofCytorus. There are autonomous coins of Cromna.
The site of Cromna has been the subject of some disagreement among sources:Amasra andKurucaşile both being suggested. However, modern scholars place its site near modernTekeönü inBartın Province.[2][3]
