The Municipality of Tiros is situated at the middle of the district Kynouria in the county of Arcadia. It is washed by Mertoon Sea, on the east, and it borders with Northern Kynouria and Leonidio municipalities. It is 30 kms far away from Astros and 20 kms from Leonidio.

To reach this region we have to follow the Athens - Tripoli National Road till Argos and then the provincial road to Leonidio. The stage is one of the more fascinating ones in Greece, because the road follows the coastline on a high well above the sea level, offering by that way a spectacular view of Argolic and the other numerous bays. The drive lasts for about 3 hours from Athens.

The municipality consists of three settlements: Tiros, Sapounakeyka and Pera Melana; it has 2.104 inhabitants and it is 88.567.000,00 m2 in extent.

The municipality area is the heart of Tsakonia, a region characterized by an intense and uninterrupted continuity through the ages, as we can verify with the human presence, that is pre-Hellenic tribes that later have been influenced by the Dorians and have been there at least from the Neolithic ages.

There is evidence as we can see in the remains of Bronze Age installations of Palaiochora, in the ancient fortified settlement on the hill of Castro and in the remains of a small temple of 6th century b. C., dedicated for the worship of Apollo Tyritas, on the hill of Prophet Elias at Melana.

The main occupation of the population is agriculture; they produce an excellent olive oil and citrus fruits of a unique quality, too. There is also a cultivation occurred rarely in Greece nowadays, that is the growth of locus beans used actually in pastry making. The honey of the region is excellent, whilst the fishing activities provide the area with fresh and tasty fishes.
