Our village

Its name means a plain with dill as one can find a lot of dill growing around our village.

Our village has 2,000 inhabitants

It is located on the sound part of the island

Its distance from the sea is 7 klm

Its altitude is 250 metres

The village is surrounded by forests of pine trees

Our school can be seen from here!It is a beautiful old stone building

This is a local hero who managed to defend Marathokampos along with 40 other fighters

His name is Captain Stamatis

This is our Junior High School.

We also have a Senior High School in our village.

We have a wind park near our village

In the summer forest fires destroyed many acres of pine forests and olive orchards around our village. The ecological disaster was great.
