Halae Aexonides or Halai Aixonides (Ancient Greek: Ἁλαὶ Αἰξωνίδες), also known as Aexonides Halae or Aixonides Halai (Αἰξωνίδες Ἁλαί), was a deme of ancient Attica, a little south of Aexone. It derived its name from its salt-works.[1] Its surname distinguishes it from Halae Araphenides. Its most important sanctuary was Temple of Apollo Zoster,[2] ruins of which remain in modern Vouliagmeni.
The site of Halae Aexonides is located at the Palaichori near Voula (and Vouliagmeni).[3][4]
