Argyra, Greece

Argyra (Greek: Αργυρά, before 1928: Άβερνα - Averna)[2] is a village in the municipal unit of Rio, Achaea, Greece.

A wind energy facility has been built about 4 km to the south.

Both towns were already ruined in Pausanias' days (2nd century AD).

According to local legend, Argyra was a sea-nymph, who fell in love with Selemnus and used to come up out of the sea to visit him, sleeping by his side.

The current village was renamed after the ancient town in 1928.
