Panormus (Achaea)

Panormus or Panormos (Ancient Greek: Πάνορμος) was a harbour of ancient Achaea, 15 stadia east of the promontory of Rhium.[1][2][3] During the Peloponnesian War, it was at Panormus, in 429 BCE, that the Spartan fleet and infantry united prior to the Battle of Naupactus.[4]

Its site is located near the modern Tekes.[5][6]
