Thesteia ( Ancient Greek: Θεστεῖα) or Thestia ( Ancient Greek: Θεστῖα) was a town in ancient Aetolia. The name occurs only in Polybius, from whose narrative we learn that it was situated in the northern part of the upper plain of Aetolia. [1] The name is perhaps connected with Thestius, one of the old Aetolian heroes.
Its site is located near the modern Ano Vlokhos. [2] [3]
