History

According to Louis de Mas Latri, the village in 1461 belonged to a feudal lord named Petros Podokatorou. In the area of the village, specifically in the area where the sanctuary and the church of Agios Therapon are located, the saint himself practiced asceticism, from whom the village took its name.

Natural environment

The relief of the area is hilly, dissected by deep streams. The Kryos River passes through the area. In the barren and uncultivated lands grows rich natural vegetation with aspalath, mussophilia, tremithi and thyme.

The main agricultural occupation of the villagers for decades has been viticulture, which occupies most of the village's arable land. The cultivation of vines is favored by the composition of the soil and the climatic conditions of the region. The main varieties produced were black grape, sultana, malaga and cardinal. In modern times, new varieties are cultivated.

In addition, fruit trees (eg olives and carobs), citrus fruits and vegetables thrive in the village.

The ground floor of these buildings is a vaulted room that is used as a warehouse for jars, wine or as a stable for animals, while above this room is built with local stone the anogi for the accommodation of the owners.
