Chalopetra tis Kokkinis tou Kalogirou Settlement

This particular housing is found at the point where rivers Akakios and Litsidkia meet and it stretches towards the location Kokkini tou Kalogirou in the west. According to senior residents of the village, an important number of pottery and glass jars, as well as human and animal figurines have been discovered in the area.
At the same housing, according to Manoloudis*, a tomb raider once found a book, which he delivered to the hodja in Peristerona, since he could not read it himself and the latter gave him some money for it. After a while, the tomb raider asked the hodja about the book and he was informed that it had been lost. However, years later it was said that the disappearance of the book is linked to its content. In particular, the book referred to the right of the residents of Chalopetra to irrigate their land using water from the river of Peristerona and obviously its disappearance was connected to the efforts of the residents to reclaim this right.   
In fact, Father Loizos had found gold byzantine coins, some of which he donated to his son Hadjiconstantinos Ieromonachos, who was actually attacked by thieves and beaten up by them in their effort to steal the coins. However, their attempt was in vain since the thieves were not able to find anything.
