Municipal unit of Echinei

The municipal unit of Echinei occupies the southern edge of the Maliakos Gulf, where the foothills of Mount Othrys meet the coast of central Greece. Part of the municipality of Stylida in Phthiotis, it is a largely rural stretch of mainland Greece, with settlements set between cultivated ground, low slopes and the Aegean-facing shoreline. Its name preserves that of ancient Echinus, a city of Achaea Phthiotis known from classical Greek sources. The wider gulf is linked to the Spercheios River delta and to the historic route through nearby Thermopylae, giving this coastal district a clear place in the geography of central Greece.
