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]
