Cresium or Kresion (Ancient Greek: Κρήσιον), also known as Ctesium or Ktesion, was an ancient port town on the island of Scyrus.[1] Plutarch mentions the town as the location where Thessalian merchants were robbed of their merchandise, which robbery lead, ultimately, to the intervention of Cimon in Scyrus.[2]
Its site is located on Skyros.[1][3]
