On the northeastern and central part of the Peloponnesian district of Achaia, the PDO Patra (ΠΟΠ Πάτρα) zone (est.1972) comprises semi-mountainous and mountainous terrain in the areas of Aegira (Aeges, Vela, Monastiri, Oasi, Seliana, Senevros, Chrysambela or Chrysanthio), Aegio (Daphnes, Koumaris, Mavriki, Melissia, Paraskevi, Pteri, Selinounda, Hatzis), Akrata (Akrata, Ambelos, Valimi, Voutsimos, Kalamia, Platanos and Paralia Platanou), Diakopto (Ano Diakopto, Diakopto, Zahloritika, Kerynia, Mamousia, Trapeza), Dymi (Elaeohori), Erineos (Ano & Kato Salmeniko, Arravonitsa, Damakini, Erinaeos & Neos Erinaeos), Kalavryta (Plataniotissa), Larissos (Velitses, Mihoyo), Patras (Ano Syhena, Elikistra, Mira, Souli, Haradro), Rio (Ano & Kato Kastritsi, Argyra, Pititsa, Sella), Sympolitia (Agios Konstantinos, Alsos, Verino, Graikas, Grigoris, Dimitropoulo, Doukaneyka, Krini, Lakkos, Loggos, Mageiras, Myrovrisi, Neratzies, Rododaphne, Selianitika, Toumba), Tritaia (Aghia Varvara, Agia Marina, Drosia, Erymanthia, Kalfas, Manesi, Roupakia, Skiadas, Skouras, Spartia, Chiona), Farres (Ano Starohori, Vasiliko, Elliniko, Kritharakia, Mirali, Halandritsa), Olenia (Galaneika, Ganeyika, Kato Mazaraki, Mitopoli, Portes, Santameri, Flokas, Haravgi), Kalentzi (Avrami, Agios Georgios, Bouteika) and Leontio (Ano Mazaraki).

The PDO Patra zone is by far the largest PDO wine zone. A large part of it is compact and continuous but many mid-altitude and high-altitude vineyard “isles” are added to it along the way. Its most breathtakingly beautiful part is found in the mountain area of Egialia. Roditis and Savvatiano is the most cultivated Greek white grape varieties.
