Chalandritsa

Greece

Chalandritsa is a town and community located in Achaea, West Greece. It is situated in the hills north of the river Peiros, approximately 17 km south of Patras. The community comprises three settlements: Chalandritsa, Mastoraiika-Stamaiika, and Kydonies.

Following the local government reform of 2011, Chalandritsa became part of the municipality of Erymanthos, serving as its seat of administration. Historically, it served as a municipal district and the seat of the municipality of Farres from 1835 to 1912, and again from 1998 until 2011.

The town is located at the edge of a seismic fault, which resulted in a minor earthquake in February 2008.
