Condylon or Kondylon or Condylum (Ancient Greek: Κόνδυλον) or Kondylos was one of the four fortresses which defended the Vale of Tempe in ancient Thessaly.[1] It was also called Gonno-Condylon, and was one of the towns of the Perrhaebi.[2]

Condylon's site is at a place now called Zesti Vrysi.[3][4]
