Pytheion (Ancient Greek: Πύθειον), also called Pythia Therma, was a town of ancient Bithynia.
Pythia was embellished with public baths and buildings since the time of Justinian I, and was a famous resort town that people from Constantinople visited for its warm baths and their therapeutic properties.[1] Its site is located near Yalova Kap[clarification needed] in Anatolia.[2][3]
