Tithronion

settlement · 550 BC – 300 AD

An ancient city of Phocis in Greek, which according to Pausanias was burned by Xerxes. Modern consensus places its acropolis at an unexcavated paliokastro north of modern Ano Kalivia, just inside the southern boundary of the Kapenitsa-Vertzianou-Amfikleia protected area.
