Demenika (Greek: Δεμένικα) is a place 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south of downtown in south suburban Patras that is divided into two municipalities. The northern part up to Glafkos (Glaukos) river is in the city of Patras, and the southern part up to the new beltway is in the municipal unit of Messatida with western Saravali and northern Ovrya. It also bounds by Lefka, along with mixed residential and industrial area in the south and west. The population is around 2,000 to 2,500 in 1996. Its main streets are Akrotiriou and Dimokratias (Demokratias). Most of the urban sprawl lie 100 to 200 m within the two main streets. The community was dominated by agriculturalism with olive groves, pastures, and mixed farming used to dominate the land. As suburban housing came into the area, urban dominates rural areas.
