Alope (Ancient Greek: Ἀλόπη, romanized: Alópē) was a town of Opuntian Locris on the coast between Daphnus (modern Agios Konstantinos) and Cynus (modern Livanates). Its ruins have been discovered by William Gell on an isolated hill near the shore in the modern village of Melidoni, Phthiotis (Greek: Μελιδόνι Φθιώτιδας).[1][2][3]
