History
Rouphinianai, also known as Drys, was a coastal town of ancient Bithynia located on the road from Libyssa to Chalcedon (Kadıköy) on the north coast of the Propontis. Its church was reportedly saved by Nicaean emperor John III Vatatzes. Its site is located near modern day Caddebostan, in Istanbul.
