Cretopolis
Cretopolis or Kretopolis (Ancient Greek: Κρητόπολις[1] or Κρητῶν πόλις[2]) was a town of ancient Pisidia, Lycia, or Pamphylia, according to various ancient writers. Historians of the Wars of the Diadochi, such as Diodorus, place it in Pisidia.[3] Ptolemy places Cretopolis in the part of Cabalia, which he attaches to Pamphylia.[1] Polybius places it in the Milyas, Lycia.[2] The Battle of Cretopolis was fought nearby in 319 BC.
Its site is located at Buğdüz, near Yüreğil in Asiatic Turkey.[4][5]
