Servos is a small
graphic village in Arcadia Perloponnese Greece. The altitude in the
central square is 1075 m., so the village is one of the very mountainous
in Arcadia.
It is a picturesque traditional Arcadian village, situated on a
mountainous august landscape with fresh water springs and offers an imposing
sight to every visitor.
 The
stone houses that are amphitheatrically built on a slight slope create the
impression of a stone-built work of art.
Servos, like Lagadia, is the homeland of skilled craftsmen an d
artisans who had an excellent knowledge of the art of stone and for generations
built houses, churches and schools all over Arcadia, Messinia and the rest of
Greece. In this way their reputation was spread everywhere. A strong proof of
their talent and fame is the view of the village houses.
An interesting building is the stone-built Elementary School unfortunately
closed for lack of students following the fate of all villages on the
mountainous Arcadia. The size of the building is a proof that Servos some
decades ago was an alive village with hundreds of children.
Today the village has a few permanent inhabitants and is mainly used as
the place of summer vacations and short excursions.
