Chalia

church · 750 BC – 2099 AD

Theopompus mentions Chalia as a town of Boeotia. It is also attested epigraphically and may have been a member of the Boeotian league. Fossey locates the city in the vicinity of the church of Agios Minas in modern Drosia. Archaeological finds in the area indicate human activity from as early as the Bronze Age.
