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]
