Glarentza

Also known as Clarentza, Clarence

Glarentza was a medieval port on the north-western coast of the Peloponnese, near modern Kyllini, and the main harbour of the Principality of Achaea, where its mint struck coins. It passed to Constantine Palaiologos in 1428 and was later largely abandoned.
