It is also one of the most mountainous settlements, at an altitude of 1050 meters, on the slopes of Aroania. The village carries on its back its own glorious history with a strong aroma of loss, since here and in the historic site of Kastraki one of the bloodiest battles took place during the siege of Tripoli by Ibrahim in March 1821. Tragic report 2500 victims.
A little further out of the village, next to the river Krathis, a star triumphs, giving its own, same performance every day and unrepeatable. The Golfo’s Fountain. This is where the bucolic drama of Spyros Peresiadis was played, making the stone-built fountain famous, when the modern Greek theatrical work became the first known silent film of the Greek cinema.
