Galepsus or Galepsos ( Ancient Greek: Γαληψός) was a town on the north coast of the peninsula of Sithonia, Chalcidice, ancient Macedonia. [1] William Martin Leake states that Galepsus was the same place afterwards called Physcella, [2] [3] a distinction which was required, as there was another Galepsus at no great distance. [4]
The site of Galepsus is about 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the modern Nikite. [5] [6]
