The Local Apartment of Kryoneri is located on a hillside, at an altitude of 758 m, on the road axis of Kalavrita - Patras and about 19 km outside Kalavrita.
Kryoneri got its name from the many waters that gush from the central square of the village. This name replaced in 1955 the name Asani, which probably has Turkish or Arvanite origins. According to the opinions of earlier people, the original location of the village was south of the present one, as evidenced by the name Konakia, which is still preserved today for this area.
After the foundation of the Greek state, it belonged, together with the other neighbouring villages, to the municipality of Lapathons. It became an autonomous community in 1912, as part of the administrative decentralisation implemented by the government of El. It was incorporated in 1998 in the Municipality of Kalavrita, according to the law "Ioannis Kapodistrias". According to the 2011 census it has 110 inhabitants. In the years before 1950 it had about 300 inhabitants, who were almost exclusively farmers or stockbreeders. The village had a public school, a coffee shop, a water mill and a water tap. After 1950, when the mass movement of rural residents to the urban centres began, the population gradually declined to less than 50 inhabitants, the majority of whom were pensioners, mainly of OGA. The small number of inhabitants has resulted in the fact that no public service operates in the village and its inhabitants are served by the public services based in Kalavrita, with which it is connected by bus services of the KTEL. Although it is a wonderful holiday resort, there are no rooms to let in the village. Any needs that may arise can be met by rooms to let that exist 2km away, in the neighbouring village of Manesi. However, many people from the village have renovated their ancestral homes so that Kryoneri has the appearance of a modern village and is visited regularly.
The main feature of the village is the stone fountain with six taps, which was built in 1911 at the expense of the then residents.
The village has a Folklore Museum that was founded in 2012 on the initiative of the Kryoneri Association and in which are kept objects that the inhabitants used in earlier times for their work. The museum is housed in the building of the old primary school which stopped working in 1977.
In front of the village lies an idyllic valley that is crossed by a tributary of Selinoundas with many plane trees growing all along its length and the picturesque bridge built around 1955.
An important role in the village is played by the unique café located next to the stone fountain. It is the meeting point of the inhabitants and the "centre" of the village. Today the café has been modernized and operates as a catering shop.
The village celebrates on 26 July, the feast day of Agia Paraskevi, in whose memory the stone church is dedicated. It was erected on land given free of charge for this purpose by the villagers with personal labour and at the expense of the villagers and was consecrated on 26 July 1952. Until then, the worship and religious duties of the villagers were served by the 'old church' located in the cemetery area which was demolished due to its age in the early 1960s. Only its paved floor was preserved, in the centre of which there is a double-headed eagle carved in stone, a sign of the church's antiquity.
Apart from the main church, there are also the chapels of Panagia, Agios Konstantinos and Agios Nikolaos.
An important role is also played in the village by the Association of Kryonerites everywhere with great activity both in the execution of various projects and in the cultural sector with the events it organizes.
The little friends or visitors of the village can have fun in the playground that was created, maintained and continuously improved by the Kryonerite Association within the framework of its activities.
Conclusion: Kryoneri is one of the villages worth visiting.
