Question
I am looking for information on the Cemeteries of Thera/Santorini; specifically on Sellada.  Is an alternate name for it Seteda?

Thank you  

Answer
Hello,

As far as I know, the cemeteries of Ancient Thera on Santorini island were situated in the Sellada region, i.e. on the north slope of Mt. Sellada, near the area of the city of Mesa Vouno and the mountain of Profitis Ilias, Santorini's highest peak.
As for the name ‘Seteda', I know nothing about, and then I cannot help you.

Kind regards,
Maria
