Demographics

According to Ottoman statistics, the village had 128 inhabitants in 1895.[4] The village had 718 inhabitants in 1993, all ethnically Greeks.[3] The village today has a permanent population of roughy 300-350 inhabitants, notably due to migration to Greece or other countries. Despite this, the population doubles in Easter, Summer and Christmas, as most people return to their village to celebrate or have holidays with their families.
