Pellene (/pəˈliːniː/; Ancient Greek: Πελλήνη; Doric Greek: Πελλάνα / Πελλίνα) was a city and polis (city-state)[1] of ancient Achaea, the most easterly of the twelve Achaean cities (the Achaean League). Its territory bordered upon that of Sicyon on the east and upon that of Aegeira on the west. Pellene was situated 60 stadia from the sea, upon a strongly fortified hill, the summit of which rose into an inaccessible peak, dividing the city into two parts. Its port was at Aristonautae.
