Saravali between 1981 and 1991 lost population and one of the most in the prefecture.
The town has a school, a church. Most of the houses are built between the 1970s and the 1990s. The main road between Petroto and Krini runs through the centre. The elevation is about 100m and 150m above sea level. Since 2003, the beltway GR-9/8/E55 runs through without any interchanges, and since construction between 1993 and 1994, it presently forms the western town boundary, not the communal between Demenika and Saravali.
Saravali sits between the mountains of Panachaicus and Omplos. The panorama overlooks almost half of the metro area of Patras from Roitika to Rio. Houses are lined from north to south. The town sits next to pine forest in the south, along with an entry to the wine fields of Achaia Clauss. A mining pit is north of Saravali. Most of the agricultural lands is in the west while forests and grasslands cover the east and north.
