History
Thouria is a settlement of the Peloponnese, with archaeological evidence ranging in date from the Bronze Age to the Roman period. The nature of the archaic and classical polity is debated in the sources. The ancient site is located in the vicinity of modern Aithaia/Hellenika, about 3 kilometers north of modern Thouria.
