The Early Christian and Byzantine town of Maronia is much smaller in size compared to the ancient city. The ancient city-state, of 4,240 acres, is limited during that time, on the southwestern end, in a fortified town (castle), with an area of only 190 acres. It corresponds to the current coastal settlement of Agios Charalambos where there are the ancient and the modern port. It also corresponds to the olive grove, at the place of "Paliochora". In the 4th century AD Maronia becomes a bishopric.
