During the Byzantine Era, the population moved from the location ''Langada Eklissias'' (Λαγκάδα Εκκλησίας) and resettled to the area of ''Bogdora'' (Μπογδορά). According to oral tradition, the resettlement was made due to geological changes.

During the beginning of the Turkish period, the settlement was moved to its current location next to the monastery of 'Koimisis tis Theotokou' and one of the incentives for the relocation must have been the nearby mountain water spring. The monastery drew the Christian population of the surrounding are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
