Glyfada, Phocis

Glyfada (Greek: Γλυφάδα) is a seaside village of Phocis, Greece, administratively linked to the municipality of Dorida and built on the plain and on the foothill of Paliokastro, opposite to the small island Trizonia.

The name Glyfada comes from a fountain in this region, emanating brackish water, which flows into the sea close to the village's square.

Within this—so far unidentified–town of western Locris one sees precincts erected on natural terraces and several remains of buildings, of which some were of a public or religious character.

In the region connecting Palaiokastro with the modern national road between Naupaktos and Itea was located the necropolis, of which some tombs are visible today.

In the village function a maritime shelter, a public primary school, a medical station, a pharmacy and a center for the citizens' service.
