Ladiko

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ladiko (Greek, Modern: Λαδικό, Ancient/Katharevousa: -on from ladi + -iko) is an abandoned settlement located near and part of the community of Kallikomo in the municipality of Skillounta, in the prefecture of Ilia, which nowadays consists only of ruins and the mighty church consecrated to the holy Dimitri. GR-9/E55 is near Ladiko. It is located S of Pyrgos, SW of Olympia, NW of Krestena and Andritsaina and N of Kyparissia. The population was 21 in 1991. In the late 1990s, the population ceased to exist and became an abandoned settlement. The only sign of life still in evidence are farmers tilling the fields around the village, and of shepherds with their flock of sheep and goats.
