Charadros

Charadrus or Charadros (Ancient Greek: Χάραδρος) was a town on the coast of ancient Cilicia, between Platanus and Cragus, according to the Stadiasmus. Strabo, who writes it Χαραδροῦς, describes it as a fort with a port below it, and a mountain Andriclus above it. It is described by Francis Beaufort

"as an opening through the mountains with a small river." The mountain is mentioned in the Stadiasmus under the name Androcus. Charadrus is located near modern Yakacık (formerly Kaledıran İskelesi), in Turkey.
