Coressia

Europe

Coressia was an ancient town on the island of Ceos, now Kea, in the South Aegean region of Greece, where it served as the harbour of the city of Iulis. It held a temple of Apollo Smintheus and was watered by the Elixus stream, and its large, sheltered harbour supported its role as a port. The archaeological site lies near the modern settlement of Livadi, renamed Korisia in 1922, which had 1,110 residents at the 2021 census.
