What Krini Patron is actually like
A community of the Messatida municipal unit on the edge of the plain south-east of Patras, at the foot of Mount Omplos, about 7 km in a straight line from Plateia Georgiou in central Patras. It had 1,345 residents at the 2021 census: 973 in Krini itself, 366 in Agios Konstantinos and 6 at the Omplos monastery, founded in 1189 on the mountain above the village. Called Velizi until 1928, it borders Saravali, Ovrya, Petroto and Krystallovrysi, and has had a primary school since 1910.
