'''Crestonaean''', ''plural'' '''Crestonaeans''', were probably a gallic tribe and region a little north west of the modern city of [[Thessalonica]].
We know that the river Echidorus (Ἐχείδωρος, Scyl. p. 26; Ἐχέδωρος, Ptol. 3.13.4) later named the Galliko, rose in their territory and emptied itself into a lagoon near the mouth of the Axios/Axius (Vardar) river<ref>William Smith, ''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography'', '''ECHIDO´RUS''', http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.04.0064:id=echidorus-geo</ref>, which empties into the [[Thermaic Gulf]] of the [[Aegean Sea]] a little to the west of [[Thessalonica]].
This description lends itself to the modern [[Moglenitsas]] (Μογλενίτσας).
