ΚΑΣΘΑΝΑΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΡΗΓΑΣ ΦΕΡΡΑΙΟΣ
Kasthanaia, Kastanaia, Eth. Kasthanaios. A town of Magnesia in Thessaly,
at the foot of Mt. Pelium, with a temple of Aphrodite Casthanitis. It is mentioned
by Herodotus in his account of the terrible storm which the fleet of Xerxes experienced
off this part of the coast. Leake places it at some ruins, near a small port named
Tamukhari. It was from this town that the chesnut tree, which still abounds on
the eastern side of Mt. Pelium, derived its name in Greek and the modern languages
of Europe.

A town of Thessaly, on the coast of Magnesia, northwest of the promontory Sepias. It is noticed by Herodotus in his account of the terrible storm experienced by the fleet of Xerxes off this coast.
Mentioned by Herodotos in the account of the storm that wrecked part of the Persian fleet on the E coast of the Magnesia peninsula. Locations both N and S of Cape Pori have been proposed, but the name is probably correctly assigned to an acropolis near Keramidhi. The walls are preserved to a maximum height of seven courses.
