'''Philiatra''' (or Filiatra) is the second largest city in population in the prefecture of [[Messinia]]. During the times of Kapodistrias, Philiatra was known as '''Erana''', and was the capital of the municipality of Erani.

The city is located across [[Kalamata]], facing the Mediterranean, in the center of the valley of Trifilia, between the cities of [[Kyparissia]] and [[Gargalianoi]]. The fertile land which begins from the [[Aegaleo Mountain|mountain of Aegaleo]] to the [[Ionian Sea]] is full of olive trees, and vineyards with varying types of grapes.

In [[1886]] a big earthquake wiped out the city and hundreds died. The economic prosperity of the region allowed the city to be rebuilt in a short period of time.
