Τουριστική Πύλη Νομού Αχαΐας

In the Municipality of Paoi, north-east of the new settlement of Paos, there are the remnants of the Arcadian city of Paos, on the acropolis of which there is a water tank and a clay pipe that ends in it. There are foundations of an ancient building (probably a palace), of the temple of Dioskouroi, rectangular towers and a gate.

The ancient city Paos or Paeon, as mentioned by Herodotus, was the ancient city of Arcadia in the northern region called Azanias. Remnants of the city that used to be flourishing in the ancient times have been found between the village Skoupeiko or New Paos and Vesineika and particularly in the area around the inn of Kalathas.
The Acropolis of Paos was on the hill above the sources of Kalathas and had walls with length estimated at 516 meters. There, a tank is reserved where a clay pipe, that brought water from a source 230 m east, ends. There are foundations of an ancient building, probably a palace, foundations of a temple of Dioskouroi, many secondary walls on lower points, many rectangular towers and a gate, too.
Beneath the acropolis, in the flat area around the sources, there was the main settlement of ancient Paos. There were buildings, shells and ancient coins dating back to the ancient pre-Classic until Roman times. There has also been identified an ancient cemeter
