[2] Each year on August astrophotography hobbyists gather there due to the clear view of the night sky, a result of the villages high elevation.
The finding of a Greek inscription of Roman (Imperial) times supports the conclusion that in the place of the present village there was an ancient settlement, whose residents were engaged in the exploitation of the iron mines of the mountain Vrontous.
The village's population was boosted in 1925 by Karamanlides Greeks that fled from the Cappadocia Region of Asia Minor, after Greece's defeat in the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922).
The location of the village, at the border with Bulgaria was a factor that contributed to its growth, during the years 1925 (arrival of Cappadocian Greeks) - 1941 (Third bulgarian occupation of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace).
