    History
    Ancient times

    About 4 km south of Nikokleia, on the hill "Isar", where the ruins of an ancient castle are preserved, is the Roman station "Arason" which is known to us by the Ravenna cosmographer. The station may be identified with the ancient Visaltic city "Arolos" mentioned by the geographer Ptolemy. [2]
