"Gerai" redirects here. For the Indonesian language, see Gerai language.

Erae or Erai (Ancient Greek: Ἐραί) was a town on the coast of ancient Ionia, mentioned by Thucydides,^[1] in the vicinity of Lebedus and Teos. It was fortified strong enough to keep out the Athenians, who attacked it.^[2] Strabo mentions Erae as a small town belonging to Teos; but though the reading Ἔραι has been received into some texts of Strabo, some of the manuscripts are said to have Gerae or Gerai (Γέραι).^[3] Pseudo-Scylax writes that it was a city with a harbor and called it Gerai.^[4]
