Pellene was a city and polis, or city-state, of ancient Achaea, the most easterly of the twelve Achaean cities. Its territory bordered that of Sicyon to the east and Aegeira to the west. The city stood 60 stadia from the sea on a strongly fortified hill whose summit rose into an inaccessible peak, dividing the city into two parts, and its port was at Aristonautae.
