Assa (Chalcidice)

Southern Europe

Assa, also known as Assera, was a town of Chalcidice in ancient Macedonia, on the Singitic Gulf in what is now Greece. Herodotus named it among the cities near Mount Athos from which Xerxes recruited troops for his 480 BC invasion of Greece, and it later became a member of the Delian League, appearing in Athenian tribute records from about 454 to 433 BC.
