Introduction
Situated in Arcadia, almost in the middle of Peloponese, 20 km (13 miles)from
both cities of Tripoli and Megalopoli and 190 km (120 miles) from Athens,
Asea has become one of the most well positioned and attractive places in
Greece. A village with few permanent inhabitants but with great prospects
because it becomes the municipal center of the region. In Kato Asea the new municipal house has been built. Asea attracts many
visitors because of its natural beauty, during the weekends and the summer,
so it's a place worth visiting.
Short History
The name comes from Aseatis, son of the Spartan king Lykaon. The ancientcity
of Asea, whose ruins can be seen until today, stands with its Acropolis near
Kato Asea. It's cultural presence starts since 6000 BC and becomes more
intensive during the following years. Many cultural treasures of that period
can be seen at Tripoli, Nafplio and Athens Archeological museums.The two
marvelous doric temples, of Poseidon (Neptune) and Athena (Minerva) show
a prosperous city. Those marvelous temples were set up, as Pausanias said by Odysseas after his return to Ithaca.. The habitants of Asea took place in the historical battles
of Plataies (479 BC) and Mantinia (362 BC). Coins of the city were cut at
196 BC. Asea took part in the foundation of the city of Megalopoli.Much
later, under the turkish occupation the village had the name "Kandreva"and
took back its ancient name at the 1920's. It's the village of Nikos Gatsos,
one of the most well known contemporary greek poets.
