Calpe (Шаблон:Lang-grc), also Kalpas or Calpas,[1] was a port city of ancient Bithynia in Asia Minor,[2] on the shore of the Black Sea. It was located not far from the mouth of the river Calpas (modern Ilaflı Dere).[3] It was mentioned in Xenophon's Anabasis.[4] Xenophon, who passed through the place on his retreat with the Ten Thousand, describes it as about halfway between Byzantium and Heraclea Pontica on a promontory, part which projects into the sea is an abrupt precipice. The neck which connects the promontory with the mainland is only Шаблон:Convert wide. The port is under the rock to the west, and has a beach; and close to the sea there is a source of fresh water. The place is minutely described by Xenophon.[4] The place is mentioned also by Pliny the Elder,[5] Solinus,[6] Arrian, who places it 210 stadia from the mouth of the Psilis,[7] and Stephanus of Byzantium.[2][8]

Its site is located near Kerpe (or Kirpe) in Asiatic Turkey.[3][9]
