Calpe (Ancient Greek: Κάλπη, romanized: Kalpē), also Kalpas or Calpas, was a port city of ancient Bithynia in Asia Minor, on the shore of the Black Sea. It was located not far from the mouth of the river Calpas (modern ). It was mentioned in Xenophon's Anabasis.

The place is minutely described by Xenophon. The place is mentioned also by Pliny the Elder, Solinus, Arrian, who places it 210 stadia from the mouth of the Psilis, and Stephanus of Byzantium. Its site is located near (or Kirpe) in Asiatic Turkey. (en)
  • Calpe (in greco antico: Κάλπη, Kálpē, citata come Calpas da Plinio), oggi conosciuta anche come Kerpe (in turco Kerpe Limanı), è il nome di un luogo della Bitinia posto sulla riva del Mar Nero e descritta da Senofonte nell’Anabasi. Il fiume Calpe, chiamato "Calpas" da Strabone, si trova tra lo , da cui è lontano di 210 stadi, e il Sakarya. Apollonio Rodio chiama il fiume Calpe "profondo che scorre" e sostiene che vi approdarono gli Argonauti. Qui Amico, re di Bebrico, sfidò a pugilato Polluce. Il fiume sarà poi rinominato Aqua. Il porto di Calpe è descritto da Senofonte, che vi era passato durante la sua ritirata con i Diecimila: nella sua Anabasi scrive che si trovava a metà strada tra Bisanzio e Eraclea Pontica e lo descrive come un promontorio la cui parte esposta al mare è un brusco precipizio. Il collo che congiunge il promontorio con la terraferma è largo solamente 120 m, mentre il porto è sotto la roccia a ovest e dispone di una spiaggia; vicino al mare c'è una sorgente di acqua fresca. Il luogo è minuziosamente descritto da Senofonte ed è facilmente individuabile sulle mappe, in alcune delle quali la porta è chiamato Kerpe Limanı. (it)
