Basil where there is still an ongoing excavation (University of Salerno report identifies the observable wall beside the chapel as a construction of Hellenistic Period).

Also four large caves which are located close to the village served as a shelter for women and children when the Turkish general Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt invaded north Peloponnese in 1827.

According to historian A. Fotopoulos the inhabitants of Seliana descended from the mountains to the coastal region of "Kryovrysi" near Aigio (where the village of Selianitika lies today) during the Ottoman period.

The first population census of Seliana after the liberation of Greece from the Ottomans is made by the French scientists of the Morea expedition in 1832, under the guidance of the naturalist and geographer Jean-Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent.
