Livanates (Template:Lang-el) is a seaside town (population in 2001: 3,023) in the prefecture of Phthiotis, central Greece. It is located 68km southeast of Lamia and is the seat of the municipality of Dafnousia.

History

Kynos, an ancient settlement site, can be found at the edge of the town. Livanates has been attested since 1540 as an Arvanitic settlement. The Arvanitic dialect spoken in Livanates has some unique features that differentiate it from the other Arvanitic dialects.

Economy

The region produces meat, fish, potatoes, tomatoes, olives and olive oil, tobacco and cotton.

Landmarks

Notable sites are the Church of Agioi Theodoroi, a small Byzantine church which is an alleged site of krifo scholio, and the Monastery of the Transfiguration.
