Orthodox Albanians, locally called "Arvanites", have the village settled after the 15th century and were later assimilated into the local population. Sarakatsani have settled at the beginning of the 20th century.[7]
The traditional stone architecture is dominant in every building, in the village paths, dwellings and churches, many now ruined or in a state of significant disrepair. The main church, dedicated to the Birth of Mary (Greek: Ναός Γεννήσεως της Θεοτόκου) was built in 1799 with a donation from Nikolaos Tsigaras. Other churches are those of Agios Athanasios at the top of the Skala, Agios Nikolaos, Prophetes Elias and Agios Georgios with a cemetery.
Folklore
The Feast of the Birth of Mary is celebrated with a three-day festival starting on 8 September.
