Amaliada, the second largest city of the Regional Unit of Ilia and seat of the Municipality of Ilida, is a dynamic, modern and hospitable center of the western Peloponnese, built in the heart of a fertile plain with a great agricultural and commercial tradition. The city, which took its name in honor of Queen Amalia, stands out for its beautiful street layout, its wide sidewalks, its lively squares with fountains and its neoclassical buildings, with the Tataneion as its highlight, while it carries a heavy historical heritage, as it is located a stone's throw from Ancient Ilida, the organizing city of the Ancient Olympic Games. Today, Amaliada is an important cultural center with a rich market and vibrant daily life, while its strategic location offers direct access to its picturesque port, the cosmopolitan Palouki, and the endless, exotic golden sands of Kourouta, which is consistently awarded with a Blue Flag, making it a top destination for every traveler.
