Derveni, Coastal village in Xylokastro-Evrostina Municipality, Greece
Located 142 kilometers from Athens, Derveni extends along the Corinthian Sea with residential properties positioned between the shoreline and old national road.
The settlement emerged in the early 19th century when inhabitants from Zacholi village established a community focused on raisin export and processing operations.
The name Derveni stems from Ottoman Turkish language, referring to a narrow passage, reflecting the geographic position between mountains and sea.
The village maintains rail connections to Athens and Patras, while the beach earned Blue Flag certification for meeting environmental standards.
Coastal erosion severely impacted the northern coastline of Derveni in February 2012, resulting in the destruction of multiple buildings.
