==History==

The village was established around 1200. This may have coincided with the decline of the town [[Hephaistia]]. According to local folklore, the first settler was Kalliopi or Kalli, a rich resident of Hephaistia, who was expelled due to improper conduct. The settlement was formerly closer to the sea, near the present locality Ariones. The naval general [[Georgios Kapetanakis]], active in the [[Greek War of Independence]], came from Kalliopi.
