Avia had forgotten and mentioned only in Ptolemaic maps, in which imprinted in the ancient map of the area and not the later times. The Medieval Mantineia was never founded. According to a tradition, Mantinies was founded from Arcadian Mantineia, when the residents relocated from the Slavic settlers from their trails and during the mid Byzantine years. As it remained isolated from the ancestral areas, it survives the toponym from Homeric times until recently, it was given from the Arcadian Mantineia mentioned in the Iliad. Medieval Mantineia featured the key to Mani and played a role during the struggle of the 15th century between the Venetians, Turks and the Byzantine Desporate of Mystra. For the feudal domain of that time, Mantineia was an elected piece which many desired, when it had a castle, a port and a great village within.

One space that Mantineia settled was the Great Tzasis of Morea, oil producer of Giannitsa. Its family took roots in Mantineia for a hundred years, thereby providing the name Mantinaean. In the mid 15th century, Thomas Palaeologus built Mantineia and Kalamata. The population suffered from these struggles. For suffering a part, its residents of Mantineia fled from the castle into a safe mountainous settlement called Ano Mantineia which was founded in 1463. Its residents broke down into two settlements, Pano Chora and Kato Chora, names that maintained its folk poem until today.
