InΣτην antiquityαρχαιότητα, theο Gelendzhikκόλπος Bayτου wasΓκελεντζίκ ήταν the site of a minor Greek outpost, mentioned as '''Torikos''' in the [[Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax]]. It is unknown to Hellenistic sources, but reappears in Roman ones under the name of '''Pagrae''' in 64 BC.<ref>A tiny Greek settlement excavated in Gelendzhik has been identified by some researchers with Torikos. Pagrae was described as an eastern limit of the [[Bosporan Kingdom]]. The record of these settlements is so fragmentary that it's impossible to make sound conclusions. See: Онайко Н.А., Архаический Торик. Античный город на северо-востоке Понта. Moscow, 1980.</ref> The colony was wiped out by the invading [[Huns]], which were succeeded by the [[Zygii]] soon after. During the Middle Ages, the bay was of some mercantile importance to the [[Ghisolfi|Genoese traders]] who referred to the seaside village as '''Maurolaca'''.
