The ancient Contrata de Grepu, according to documents of medieval times, with mills and cultivated fields (timaria), belonged to the Byzantine lord Petriti or Petrentinos who gifted the village to the Palatianos family (probably as a dowry). A Byzantine tower has been preserved from this family. From the Roman period there is the ground plan of a ceramic brick building with a diameter of 5 meters that was probably used for a barn or cistern.
