Borsi (Greek, Modern: Μπόρσι, Ancient/Katharevousa: -on), older forms: Borsio and Borsion, is a community lying in hilly area and is connected with a road to the Peneus Dam, Lechaina and Varda.

It was part of the former municipality of Lechaina. The prefecture of Achaia is located to the northeast. It is located about about 17 km E of Lechaina, about 15 km S of Varda, about 70 km WSW of Patras, about 4 km NE of the Peneus dam and about 50 km N of Pyrgos via roads. In the 19th century, the community was part of the old municipality of Kalotychias. It became a settlement of Melissa when it became a part of the present-day municipality. Later, it became a separate commune again in the same municipality.
