Administrative changes until "Kallikratis"
The settlement was recognized in 1834 and was annexed to the municipality of Prosymni of the -former- prefecture of Argolis & Corinth. In 1899 it was annexed to the prefecture of Argolis and, in 1909, back to the prefecture of Argolis & Corinth. In 1912 it was designated the seat of the community of Anyfio and in 1949 it was definitively subordinated to the prefecture of Argolis. With the Government Gazette 244A - 04/12/1997 it was detached from the community of Anyfio and annexed to the municipality of Midea. With the Government Gazette 87A - 07/06/2010 it was detached from the municipality of Midea and annexed to the municipality of Nafplio. [3]
General information
The original inhabitants of the settlement spoke Arvanitika, which was abandoned around the mid-1930s. The oldest families in the village are the following: Kollias (today Mitrokollias), Giannatsis-Silis (today Mitrosilis), Koliavanis (today Kolivanis), Gatsis and Stergios (today Stergiou). The area of Anyfi is dominated by orange groves. There are two agricultural cooperatives in the settlement as well as two large fresh produce packing plants. The businessman and benefactor of the Midea region of Argolida, Adrianos Angelopoulos, came from Anyfi.

Sights
The elementary school building ("Angelopouleio")
The metropolitan church of Agios Dimitrios, built in 1920-30
The church of the Annunciation of the Virgin
The church of Agia Sotiria. It is a single-aisled basilica, the roof of which was remodeled a few years ago. However, the entire church was built on ancient ruins, as can be seen from its masonry
The church of Metamorphosis of the Savior, in the area of the former settlement of Platanitis. It is a building of the 11th-12th century and its interior is painted, probably in later times. Noteworthy are the two-bay windows of the church surrounded by a single relief brick arch and ceramic strip, as well as the octagonal dome of the Athenian type.
The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, in the area of the former settlement of Platanitis. It is a cross-roofed church and was probably built in the 12th century. Ancient building material has been incorporated into the masonry of the church, especially the outer walls, while the wall on the west side of the church has suffered a major crack (most likely from an earthquake).
