The
Municipality of Kalloni consisting of seven villages, which
are Anemotia, Skalohori, Philia, Parakila, Skala Kallonis, Papiana-Kerami-Argiana,
Agra, Dafia and Arisvi, is situated in the centre of
the island. In this area is one of the most important waterlands
in the island. The area of Kalloni has been the centre and
the "lighthouse" of the orthodoxy and the culture.
Its contribution to the determination of the education' s
level, thanks to its Monasteries (Monastery of
Lemonas - Ayios Ignatios, Monastery of Panayia
Myrsiniotissa), and to its historic Metropolis, was very
important. At a distance of 4Km through a fantastic
landscape we meet the coastal area of Skala Kallonis.
It is an organizes port and main tourism resort of the area,
with sandy beach, many trees, fish taverns and night clubs. We
have to mention here that among the local festivities that
take place especially during summer, the festivity of
sardine during August, with local music, dance, ouzo and
fish foods.
