Amali-Ass (Amaliada) is an important city in the prefecture of Ilia in western Greece, situated in the northwestern part of the Peloponnese, about 20 kilometers from the capital city of Pyrgos. As an agricultural center, the region is known for its olive oil, viticulture and animal husbandry, and its plains are covered with large olive groves and vineyards.
The name of the city derives from Amalia, queen of Otto, the first king of Greece, in the 19th century, and it gradually developed into a settlement in the late 19th century. Archaeological sites from ancient Greek Elis exist nearby, including the remains of temples and stadiums, reflecting the religious and sporting importance of the area during the Classical period.
Amali-As has an active weekly market and traditional festivals, such as the olive harvest festival in the fall. The city has a good infrastructure and is connected to the cities of Patras and Pyrgos by a network of roads, making it an ideal stopover for exploring the ancient city of Olympia (about 30 kilometers away).
Surrounded by rolling hills and the Ionian coastline, the area offers opportunities for hiking and rural experiences. The mild Mediterranean climate makes it a pleasant place to visit in all seasons, especially for travelers who love historical sites and idyllic landscapes.
