Nymphaion, also known as Nymphaion on the Pontus, was a significant centre of the Bosporan Kingdom on the Crimean shore of the Cimmerian Bosporus, about 14 kilometers south of Kerch near the site of the ancient city of Panticapaeum and the modern resort town of Heroivske. It served as an important hub within the Bosporan Kingdom network of settlements during the ancient Greek period.
