Karya (Καρυά) Argolida

Karya is a mountainous village in Argolida. It is located at an altitude of 700 m. And is built at the foot of Mount Artemisio. The population of the village is 165 people, who are mainly engaged in animal husbandry and olive oil production. It is 20 km from Argos. At 7 km from the village, in Brakatsaki, there is a spring with cool crystal clear water. The large village of Karya once had 1,299 inhabitants. Agios Ioannis Prodromos, the metropolis of Karya, still attracts a lot of people today, August 29th. In recent years, as the old houses are being renovated one by one by locals returning to their homeland, as well as by foreigners who buy them, the village looks like a modern resort with shops and the square in its center, recently formed with carved stones. .

The village received huge publicity from 2003 onwards, as it was chosen as the location for the shooting of the successful Greek comedy series "The Coffee of Joy", produced by the ANT1 Group. So to this day it remains informally known in the world under the name "Kolokotronitsi".
