Phlya

Phlya (Ancient Greek: Φλύα or Φλυά) was a deme of ancient Attica that lay in the Mesogaea. It must have been a place of importance from the number of temples which it contained, and from its frequent mention in inscriptions.[1][2][3]

The site of Phlya is located near modern Chalandri.[4][5]
