Myrmekion, also called Myrmecium, was an ancient Greek colony in Crimea, founded by Milesian settlers in the first half of the sixth century BC. It stood in the eastern part of the modern city of Kerch, about four kilometers northeast of ancient Panticapaeum on the bank of Kerch Bay near the Karantinny Cape.
