**Examilia** ([Greek](/source/Greek_language): Εξαμίλια) is a town in the municipality of [Corinth](/source/Corinth_(modern_city)), [Greece](/source/Greece). It is situated about 5 km south of Corinth, and 6 km west of [Kechries](/source/Kechries) (ancient Cenchreae). The name likely derives from the adjacent [Hexamilion Wall](/source/Hexamilion_wall), although it had not been in use for some time before the town was founded.

## History

The town was first attested in 1676 by [French](/source/French_people) archaeologist [Jacob Spon](/source/Jacob_Spon) as an [Albanian](/source/Albanians) ([Arvanite](/source/Arvanite)) village.[2] In present times only few of the inhabitants are still able to speak [Arvanitika](/source/Arvanitika).[3] According to the inhabitants of the town they are descended from Albanian settlers that arrived in [Corinth](/source/Corinth_(modern_city)) earlier than the ones of [Xylokeriza](/source/Xylokeriza).[2] Based on Spon and [Francis Wheler](/source/Francis_Wheler) modern historians assume that the ancestors of Examilians had settled the area at least since the late 17th century.[2] Examilians have been reported to not always be in good terms with the inhabitants of Xylokeriza.[2] According to some scholars the source of these local differences is that Examilians descend from earlier settlers than the ones of Xylokeriza.[2] The refugee colony of [Washingtonia](/source/Washingtonia_(colony)) established in 1829 at the area.[4]
