Panormos (Attica)
Panormos was the name of a coastal town in Ostattika in antiquity , the location of which is not known today. The speech writer Isaios only mentions the place without any further information. Claudius Ptolemy locates the port of Panormos ( Greek Πάνορμος λιμήν ) between Cape Sounion and Brauron . The port is said to have been divided into two unequally large basins by a cape.
While some classical scholars equate the place with today's Porto Rafti , others locate it between Thorikos and Cape Sunion. In the vicinity of Laurion there is the bay Pounta Zeza , which is still called Panormos today.
