Gulf of Kymi

On the eastern coast of Euboea, Kymi faces the open Aegean. Ancient writers associated a harbor called Kyme with the island's cities of Chalcis and Eretria, and sometimes named it among the founders of Cumae in Italy. The ancient harbor's exact site is uncertain, but the name survived on the coast: a 1528 map of Euboea by Benedetto Bordone records a place called Chimi.
