Pheia, Ancient harbor city in Agios Andreas, Greece
Located on an isthmus connecting the Ichthys promontory to the mainland, Pheia contained two natural harbors for maritime activities.
The Athenian fleet used Pheia as a strategic base during the first year of the Peloponnesian War, launching operations against Elis.
Archaeological excavations revealed Bronze Age Cycladic marble figures, late Archaic period kouros statues, and painted terracotta roof fragments.
The archaeological site extends from the seaside settlement of Agios Andreas to the medieval Pontikokastro castle ruins on the hilltop.
A tsunami generated by an earthquake in 551 CE caused the destruction of Pheia, leaving substantial underwater archaeological evidence.
