Kymi (Greek: Κύμη, Kyme in Ancient Greek, Latinized as Cumae, Cyme or Cuma) is an ancient city in Euboea, Greece; the modern town Kymi at the same location has a current population of 8,772 (2001). The Bronze Age settlement at Kymi has been excavated nearby Mourteri. In the Iron Age, Kymi was among the earliest sources of Greek colonization, establishing the homonymous colony of Cumae in southern Italy.
