History
Pausanias tells us that the ancient settlement of Side was named for a daughter of Danaus and implies its location to have been somewhere on the Malea peninsula of mainland Greece, perhaps in the vicinity of Boiai (modern Neapoli Vion). Camp (BAtlas 58) tentatively places it at modern Velanidia.
