Originally a Bulgarian village, in beginning of the 18th century, it gradually began to be settled by Aromanian (Vlach) population, which eventually assimilated with the Bulgarians and became Hellenized adopting Greek identity. From then on the name of the village was known as Kalarrytes (or Kãlarli).
