The Folóï oak forest is situated at an altitude of 688m, on the plateau of the Folóï mountain. It is an ecosystem unique in the Balkan peninsula and consists of a territory of 9,900 acres (40 km2), which is almost entirely covered by deciduous oaks that form a dense forest area.

Mythology.
The Pholóē oak forest was known to Ancient Greeks, because of its proximity to many of their settlements in the Elis region. The mysterious beauty of the forest inspired them to believe that it was a habitat of Centaurs and fairies. They gave the forest the name Pholóē (Greek: Φολόη, modern Greek pronunciation: Folóï) and the chief of the Centaurs the name Phólos (Greek: Φόλος). The fairies of the forest were the Dryads (Greek: Δρυάδες), "oak fairies".

Androni is built on the plateau "Foloi", which is so named, because there was Centaurus Foleos,who lived in great steep ravines which cross the Paliopotamos with the streams and many plane trees. On the other hand there is the Kokalaki or Homeric River Selisis or Penny Ladon.

There, the canyon is formed around Androni, which is characterized as a habitat of great historical and ecological value.

In this part, Hercules, according to mythology, threw a net to catch him Erythmanth Kapros.
