Seliana (Greek: Σελιάνα)[1] also known as Phelloe (Greek: Φελλόη) is a village in the municipal unit of Aigeira, in the eastern part of Achaea, north Peloponnese, Greece. The village is built at an altitude of ~750 m on the foothills of the fir forest of Sarantapikho and on the eastern slope of the valley of river Krios. The village had a population of 305 [2] in 2001. Aigeira is 10 km to the north, and Kalavryta is 21 km to the west. Seliana is connected by a 19 km road that leads to the town of Aegeira and the Greek National Road 8A, Athens - Corinth - Aigeira - Patras.
The village of Seliana coincides with ancient Phelloe, a small town of ancient Greece described in Pausanias book "Description of Greece - Achaea"[3][4] Turning right at the 18,5 km a small road drives to the remnants of ancient Phelloe. Beside a large platanus tree (trunk circumference 4.5 metres) and beside the old chapel of St. Basil are the ruins of ancient buildings.
