Mathia (Greek: Μαθία, before 1927: Δράγκα - Dragka[2]) is a small village located near the top of the Mount Lycodimos.

It is part of the municipal unit of Petalidi, in Messenia, Greece, 7 kilometres from the coastline.

In the Greek War of Independence in 1821, the legendary Captain Yannis Makriyannis (Γιάννης Μαακρυγιαννης) aka Iannis Triantaphyllou and his heroic men destroyed the Turkish army.

His monument stands in the village's entrance, as a reminder to the new generations.
