Saint Panteleimon, whose feast day, July 27
is celebrated by the two main churches of the village, St. Panteleimon and St. George.
History
According to local tradition, the village was founded in a different location and was moved to its current location in the
medieval structures, which are apparently the remains of the fortified medieval settlement of Dafnonas. These structures show the mark that the Genoese left on the island during their rule in the 14th to 16th centuries.[2]
