In the south of the village are the prefectures of Arcadia and Argolis and southwest of Kiato (47 km). The name of the village comes from the Turkish occupation, it is probable that it was taken from a resident of his who was called Lavka. The original location of the village is in the "old-Lafka" where today the adjacent spring of Temiza is located. This village was created before the revolution of 1821.
