What to expect
A very small settlement (28 residents in 2021) in the northern part of the Feneos basin, between Mount Aroania and Mount Ziria, at about 780 metres. It is about 3 km from Archaia Feneos; the acropolis and the Temple of Asclepius of the ancient city lie less than a kilometre away.
History and character
Vilia lies near the borders with Arcadia and Achaea, in the northern part of the Feneos basin. In the census of the French scientific Expedition of Morea it is recorded as Viliaes, with 23 families.
After liberation, in 1834, the name was officially spelled “Vyllia”, and it was corrected to “Vilia” in 1940. Today the village belongs, together with Archaia Feneos and Louzi, to the community of Archaia Feneos in the Municipality of Sikyonia.
