Geography

edit

The Serdini flows through the municipal units of Olenia and Dymi, both part of the municipality West Achaea. It rises near the village of Flokas and flows generally north along the villages Arla, Ano Soudenaiika, Avgeraiika, Agios Nikolaos and Lousika. It empties into the Peiros south of Kato Alissos.

In the fertile valley of the Serdini river, several artifacts from the Mycenaean period have been excavated, including a cemetery near Spaliaraiika.[2]
