Geschichte
Paliachora (Παλιαχώρα), also known as Palaia Chora and Palaiochora (Παλαιοχώρα) is an abandoned Medieval settlement on Aegina, one of the islands off the coast of Attica in Greece. Paliachora was the main centre of habitation on the island from the Middle Byzantine period until the beginning of the 19th century. It was built on a peak in the northern part of the island, above the monastery of Agios Nektarios, next to the road from the city of Aigina on the west coast to Mesagros and the Temple of Aphaia in the east. It has been nicknamed the "Mystras of Aigina."
