Achaia is a regional unit in Greece situated in the Peloponnese. Its main cities were Patrai, Pellene, and Dyme, whose inhabitants were skilled shipwrights during the Peloponnesian War with each city contributing to the naval construction in their own way. As a result, Achaia was essentially the shipyard of Greece, and its thriving economy ensured that it had a medium-sized population relative to the rest of Greece in the 5th century BCE. While it harbored abundant raw materials for ship building, vast tracts of land were deforested for this industry.
