'''Sellada''' ({{langx|el|Σελλάδα}}) is a [[mountain pass]] between the peaks of ''Profitis Ilias'' and ''Mesa Vouno'', near the village of [[Kamari]] in the island of [[Santorini]], [[Greece]]. The NE and NW slopes of Sellada accommodated the [[necropolis]] (i.e. cemetery) of [[Ancient Thera]], Santorini's [[classical antiquity]] city. Excavations in Sellada during the years 1961 - 1982 by Nikolaos Zapheiropoulos have uncovered several tombs with funeral gifts, [[pithos|pithoi]], and funerary [[kouros|kouroi]] and [[Kore (sculpture)|korai]],<ref>{{in lang|el}} [https://www.tovima.gr/2008/11/24/culture/mia-kori-ilikias-2-700-etwn/ ToVima.gr], Μια κόρη ηλικίας 2.700 ετών, Το ΒΗΜΑ onLine, 30 Σεπτεμβρίου 2001</ref> some of which are exhibited at [[Fira]] archaeological museum.
