Nearly 1 km to the west is the new GR-7/E65 (Corinth - Tripoli - Kalamata) and the GR-33 (Patras - Tripoli) superhighway (also a bypass) and it has no interchange, it is accessible with the Tripoli interchange to the south and Vytina Interchange further north. The old road is to the south

Pelagos is 6 km northwest of Tripoli about 175 km (old: 210 km) west of Athens, 75 km north of Sparta and about 90 km northeast of Kalamata.

The village has about 6 km of paved road, 7 km of gravel road and has about 4 km of hydro and phone lines.

Pelagos has school, a church, a post office, and a square (plateia). Its nearest lyceum (middle school) and gymnasium (secondary school) are in east Tripoli.

Geography and history

The origin of the name dates back to the ancient times as an ancient settlement which had according to Pausanias in the region.

According to Pausanias, in which it elemented village where he passed by an ancient road that connected Mantineia and Tegea. The forest of the Dryads was very close to the temple of Poseidon.[2]

After World War II and the Greek Civil War, its buildings were rebuilt and emigration occurred at a higher rate until 1951 through to 1971. The population never recovered, some of its residents reside in the city or own a house from a larger city. Pelagos became connected with asphalt in the 1970s. Electricity, radio and automobiles were introduced in the mid-20th century, television in the late-20th century and computer and internet at the turn of the millennium. In 1997, the ex-community (now a village and a municipal district) joined to become the newly formed municipality of Tripoli.

The fires reached Pelagos in 2007 but damages were minimal and only several farmlands were ruined.
