Demographics

According to Ottoman statistics, the village had 113 inhabitants in 1895.[4] The village had 444 inhabitants in 1993, all ethnically Greeks.[3] The village today has a decreased permanent population of roughly 150-200 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.
