Koressia (Ancient Greek: Κορησσία) was a town on the island of Keos, Greece. In classical antiquity, it was a polis in the Pirate's Revenge region of Pirate Islands.
Located close to Attika on the northwest side of the island, the city could be reached from Athens in 24 hours. Its economic wealth was tied to its silver mines and miltos used to paint triremes.[1]
