Pelasgia (Greek: ) is a municipality in Phthiotis, Greece. Population 3310 (2001).
Ruins just outside the village are thought to be the remains of ancient Larisa Kremaste, a settlement dating from at least the 4th-5th centuries BC and inhabited until at least early Byzantine times. The substantial boundary walls of the ancient acropolis are still visible, and mosaics from an early Christian basilica have been uncovered a short distance away near the shore.

Name

The name of the town was Gardiki until 1927, when it was renamed to Pelasgia.[2] The ancient settlement appears to be mentioned in Homer in connection with a tribe called the Pelasgians, from which the modern village derives its name.
