Culturally it is included in the villages of Douskara and is built north of the Paramythia Mountains[2] on the eastern side of the Arganos hill, at an altitude of 415 meters[3], near and northwest of Venterikos.
The Castle of Vereniki
Northwest of the village, at the location "Portes", there are remains of a Hellenistic acropolis wall, in the western part of which the gate is preserved in fairly good condition as well as ruins of buildings inside it.[4] The so-called Castle of Vereniki was one of the castles of the Molossians (4th century BC) and in 167 BC the high commissioner Lefkios Aemilios Paulos destroyed it when he conquered Epirus and razed 70 cities, most of which were Molossian.[2] At the location "Paliochori", between the ancient acropolis and the village, ancient coins and fragments of vases have been found. In the wider area there are caves of archaeological interest and ancient tombs.[5]
