Keramos is one of the few villages whose economy has not traditionally depended on agriculture, as it has long been known for the hot metal baths of its thermal spring, as well as for the antimony mine. The mine has not been operating in recent decades, but the operator's facilities are being saved. Today, most Keramiotes are engaged in agriculture
The parish church (the "village church") of Keramos is honored in the name of Agios Panteleimon [1]. There are also old churches and chapels. The village belongs ecclesiastically to the hierarchical committee of Kourounia of the Holy Metropolis of Chios, Psara and Oinousses.
The zip code of Keramos is 82103.
