A large village with a population of 800, stands 200 metres above sea-level and in ancient times was called Neraidohori (Place of the Nereids). Its situation amidst running water and lush vegetation makes it a fitting spot for legends and mysterious beliefs.It is said that the name comes from the Nymphs who used to bathe in nearby waterfalls. The village has seen continuous occupation from ancient times, owing to its inaccessibility and to the establishment of a command post there in Venetian times, which prevented attacks from barbarians and pirates . The church of Agios Konstantinos (St. Constantine) was built on ruins of a temple dedicated to Apollo.
