Thinaia or Thinia (Greek: Θηναία, Θηνιά) is a community on the island of Kefalonia, Greece.

This rural area was once mainly a farming community, where peasants, under the Venetian occupation of the island, worked small terrace plots scattered on the slope of the mountain above and next to the village.

Recently the village has attracted the interest of a historical research team from the UK, which is searching for the site of Odysseus' home and palace.

Confirmation of such a theory will have a great impact on the area of Thinaia and especially Kontogourata where the bulk of the research is concentrated.

The day starts with a service at the local church and in the evening the traditional dinner, drink and dancing goes on throughout the night.
