Cumae (Template:Lang: Cuma, Template:Lang: Κύμη or Κύμαι) is an ancient Greek settlement lying to the northwest of Naples in the Italian region of Campania. Cumae was the first Greek colony on the mainland of Italy (Magna Graecia) and is perhaps most famous as the seat of the Cumaean Sibyl.
Today Cuma - Fusaro is a frazione of the comune of Bacoli.
