Dryalos (Δρύαλος) or Dry (Δρυ) is a village in the municipal unit of Oitylo, Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece.

A nearby hilltop, 300m (1,000feet) high, is named "Kastro tis Orias" ("Castle of the Fair Maiden"),[1] and is sometimes given as the site of the medieval castle the Grand Magne, but it has no remains of a castle.[2]
