Coastal Lamptrai

Coastal Lamptrai, or Lamptrai Paraliai (Ancient Greek: Λαμπτραὶ παράλιαι) or Lamptra Paralios (Λάμπτρα παράλιος), also known as Lamptrai Hypenerthen (Λαμπτραὶ ὑπένερθεν) or Lamptra Hypenerthen (Λάμπτρα ὑπένερθεν), both meaning Lower Lamptra[i], was a deme of ancient Attica. Lamptrai Paraloi and nearby Upper Lamptrai (Lamptrai Kathyperthen) were between Anagyrus, Thorae, and Aegilia.[1] At Lamptra the grave of Cranaus was shown.[2][3]

The site of Coastal Lamptrai was near modern Kitsi.[4][5]
