Agia Kyriaki (Αγία Κυριακή) Messinia
Agia Kyriaki,[4] is a seaside settlement near Filiatra and administratively falls under the Municipality of Trifylia, in the Prefecture of Messinia. From the late 19th century to the early 20th century, it was the main port,[5] that is, the harbor, of Filiatra (today Limenari is also considered a port). It was a relatively small port with significant export activity for the international trade of raisins from the Trifylia region.[4]
Location
The northern entrance to Agia Kyriaki, from the Filiatra–Marathoupolis road.
The village is located on the Filiatra–Marathou coastal road, at an altitude of 1[1] meters and is washed by the waters of the Ionian Sea.[4] It is approximately 80 kilometers from the capital of the prefecture, Kalamata, to the northwest of it.[6][7][8][9] Agia Kyriaki is approximately 4.5 kilometers southwest of Filiatra.
History
Classical, Roman and Byzantine era
In the wider area of Agia Kyriaki, according to one version, ancient Erana is located, in which there was a sanctuary, which was probably dedicated to Eranaios Poseidon.[4][5] There was previously, as evidence, a marble statue head attributed to this god, but it was lost during the Occupation.[4][5] During the Roman era, baths were also created in the area.[4][5][8] It is believed that a Byzantine-Early Christian temple with a five-aisled basilica was rebuilt in the 4th century on the ruins of the sanctuary of Ancient Erana.[4] During excavations, in the area of the late Roman bath and the early Christian basilica, coins from those times were also found.[4][5][10]
"Raisin Society"
The village itself has a history that begins towards the end of the 19th century. Its small port, as well as the old abandoned raisin processing factory, played a decisive role in the development of the village,[4] but also of the entire region of Filiatra, which participates in the "raisin society", as according to historian Kaiti Aroni-Tsichli: "A whole world lives and develops around the cultivation and trade of raisins, the "raisin society". In large urban centers, such as Patras, a port city par excellence that organizes the production of the product and controls exports, or Pyrgos, but also in villages and towns, such as Xylokastro, Lechaina, Gargalianoi or Filiatra, the entire life and activities of the residents are determined by the raisin".[11][12]
Administrative history
The settlement, initially named Agia Kyriaki Ormos, was annexed to the old Municipality of Erani in 1896,[13][14] while shortly afterwards, in 1899, it was transferred from the Prefecture of Messinia and became part of the Prefecture of Trifylia,[15] for about a decade, until 1909, when it returned to the Prefecture of Messinia,[16] as a settlement of the District of Trifylia. In 1912, the village was separated from the Municipality of Eranis and became part of the Community of Filiatra,[17][18] until 1997, when, as part of the changes that occurred in local government, through the "Kapodistrias" plan, it was subordinated to the abolished Municipality of Filiatra,[19] until 2010. Since 2011, after the new changes of the "Kallikratis" plan, it now belongs to the new Municipality of Trifylia.[4][20] This municipality was established with the Kallikratis Program by merging the pre-existing municipalities of Aetos, Avlonos, Gargaliana, Kyparissia, Filiatra and the community of Tripyla.
Residents
The settlement, based on the 2011 census, has 197 permanent residents, who are employed in tourism, fishing and mainly in various agricultural activities, such as olive growing, other tree crops and greenhouses.

Buildings – sights – events
In addition to the houses in the village, there is the Church of Agia Kyriaki, near the port,[8] which belongs to the Holy Metropolis of Triphylia and Olympia. Agia Kyriaki, from which the village takes its name, is celebrated on 7 July, with a service and procession of the icon of the Saint in the harbor, while one of the largest festivals of Trifylia is held at the same time, attracting people from the wider area.[4][5] The village's harbor, as well as the homonymous Agia Kyriaki Beach, are also considered important sights.[5]
