Halae Aexonides

Halae Aexonides or Halai Aixonides (Ancient Greek: Ἁλαὶ Αἰξωνίδες), also known as Aexonides Halae or Aixonides Halai (Αἰξωνίδες Ἁλαί), was a deme of ancient Attica, a little south of Aexone. It derived its name from its salt-works.^[1] Its surname distinguishes it from Halae Araphenides. Its most important sanctuary was Temple of Apollo Zoster,^[2] ruins of which remain in modern Vouliagmeni.

The site of Halae Aexonides is located at the Palaichori near Voula (and Vouliagmeni).^[3]^[4]
