Cressa or Kressa (Ancient Greek: Κρῆσσα) was an ancient Greek[1] city located in ancient Thrace, on the Thracian Chersonesus. It is cited in the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax, in the second position of its recitation of the towns of the Thracian Chersonesus, along with Aegospotami, Cressa, Crithote and Pactya.[2] It may be the same town cited by Pliny the Elder as Crissa on the Propontis.[3][1]
Its site is located 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northeast of Aigospotamoi, Turkey.[4][5]
