Charadrus
Charadrus or Charadros (Ancient Greek: Χάραδρος) was a town on the coast of ancient Cilicia, between Platanus and Cragus, according to the Stadiasmus. Strabo, who writes it Χαραδροῦς, describes it as a fort with a port below it, and a mountain above it.[1] It is described by Francis Beaufort "as an opening through the mountains with a small river."[2] The mountain is mentioned in the Stadiasmus under the name Androcus.
Charadrus is located near modern Yakacık (formerly Kaledıran İskelesi), in Turkey.[3][4]
