Location information

VELANIDIA (Settlement) LERNA
  Velanidia is situated near Kotsonis built-up area, 22 km away from Argos. It is inhabited by 20 families that occupy themselves with olive trees, cattle raising and arboriculture. The recovery of a Byzantine capital clearly indicates the historical background of the region.
  On the whole, Velanidia is regarded as a mountainous village; however, its economy grows as if it is a village in a plain. This is mostly why its population, liveliness and dynamism remain stable.
