Name - Administrative

According to local tradition, just outside the village of Kostitsi, at the location "Lati", there was a large settlement, Latio, which was plagued by a plague. From this plague, only four brothers named Kostas, Nestoras, Petros and Fotis survived. These four brothers built the villages that still bear their name today, with various corruptions of course, namely "Kostitsi" (Kostas), "Nistora" (Nestoras), "Patero" (Petros) and "Fortosi" (Fotis). It was officially recognized as a settlement, after the liberation of Epirus, in 1919 as part of the then community of Korytiani.[6] According to the Kallikratis program, together with the settlements of Kostitsi, Fortosi and Patero, they form the local community of Fortosi, which belongs to the municipal unit of Katsanohoria of the Municipality of Northern Tzoumerka and, according to the 2011 census, has a population of 10 residents.[7]
