Halae

Halae or Halai was a town of ancient Locris, situated upon the Opuntian Gulf, but belonging to Boeotia in the time of Strabo and Pausanias [1]. It is described by Pausanias as situated to the right of the Platanias River, and as the last town of Boeotia [1]. It probably derived its name from some salt springs which are still found in its neighbourhood [1]. Its site is located near modern Theologos, where some ruins exist near the church of St. John [1].
