Besa ( Ancient Greek: Βῆσα) was a deme of ancient Athens, situated in the mining district, midway between Anaphlystus and Thoricus, [1] and 300 stadia from Athens main city. [2] Xenophon recommended the erection of a fortress at Besa, [1] which would thus connect the two fortresses situated respectively at Anaphlystus and Thoricus.
The site of Besa is located near the modern Synterina. [3] [4]
