Rhoe (Ancient Greek: Ῥόη, romanized: Rhoē) was a port town of ancient Bithynia in Asia Minor on the shore of the Pontus Euxinus. It was located 20 stadia east of Calpe, on a steep promontory and contained a road fit only for small vessels.[1][2] It was inhabited during Roman and Byzantine Empire times.[3]
Its site is located near Kefken in Asiatic Turkey.[3][4]
