Pheca or Phaika or Phaeca (Ancient Greek: Φαίκα) or Phecadum was a fortress and town lying between the pass of Portes and Gomphi in ancient Thessaly.[1] In the war against Philip V of Macedon, Amynander of Athamania, king of the Athamanes, in co-operation with the Roman consul Titus Quinctius Flamininus, having descended from the pass of Portes, first took Pheca and then Gomphi itself, 198 BCE.[2]

The site of Pheca is at modern Varybobi.[3][4]
