The village, which until 1955 was called Svyrou, is located on the upper bank of the west bank of the Krios River, at an altitude of about 450 meters.

Historical data

Residents

Svyrou has existed since the very old years, as well as most of the mountain villages in the valley of Krio. Characteristic was the huge plane tree in the square, which according to tradition had a life of over 1000 years.

A large family of cattle breeders are said to have been the first settlers in the village to come from the village of Sarantapicho.

Ragavis reports that in 1851 46 families (136 inhabitants) lived there. In 1879 the inhabitants were 132. In 1889 there were 137 living in Svyrou. The 1896 census showed 150 inhabitants. In 1907 they were reduced to 129. The participation of the Svyraians in the immigration wave of the time in America was very small [4], since in 1920 113 people remained in the village. The descent to the coast is evident in the next decade, as in 1928 only 95 people lived there.

At present, its few inhabitants have always been engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, while producing a little black currant and cereals, as until the 1960s the famous "Nerotrivi" operated, where all households in the wider area went to bed every summer for cleaning. .

Designation

It was renamed Oasis, according to the local literature, because the area had beautiful orchards and a lot of greenery. For the older name "Svirou" it is bibliographically mentioned that it is either anthropomorphic of Albanian origin, ie from the Sbiro family, or it has a Slavic origin and means swamp, spring, vortex [3].

With the Government Gazette 119A of 03/06/1944, it was detached from the District of Kalavrita, which belonged until then, and was annexed to the District of Aigialeia [5]. With the Government Gazette 287A of 10/10/1955, it was renamed from Svyrou to Oasi [5], as well as the community [6].
