Phelloe

Phelloe (Ancient Greek: Φελλόη) was a fortified town and polis (city-state)[1] of ancient Achaea, 40 stadia from Aegeira, through the mountains. According to the geographer Pausanias, it abounded in springs of water.[2]

Its site is tentatively located near the modern Zacholi/Seliana.[3][4]
