Colonides or Kolonides (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Κολωνίδες), also known as Colonis or Kolonis (Κολωνίς)[1] or as Colone or Kolone (Κολώνη), was a town in the southwest of ancient Messenia described by Pausanias as standing upon a height at a short distance from the sea, and 40 stadia from Asine.[2] The inhabitants affirmed that they were not Messenians, but a colony led from Athens by Colaenus. It is mentioned by Plutarch as a place which Philopoemen marched to relieve leading to his capture and execution;[1] but according to the narrative of Livy, Corone was the place towards which Philopoemen marched.
Its site is located near the modern Vournaria.
