Avoros is a village in the Phocis prefecture of Central Greece. At the 2021 census, it had 81 inhabitants.
Natural environment
[edit | edit source]The village is known for its natural environment and it is built in a dense oak forest. It overlooks the lake of Mornos, a water reservoir that supplies water to Athens, Greece's capital city. The view from the village includes Mount Giona which is Greece's 5th tallest and other mountain ranges.
Immigration
[edit | edit source]World War II and the Civil War that ensued (1945-1949) created the adverse economic conditions that led to a dramatic demographic decline that occurred in the village in the second half of the 20th century. Many families moved to Athens, Erateini and in urban centers in the United States of America.[citation needed]
