History
According to Ottoman document from 1626–1627, there were 71 Christian households in the village in the first half of the 17th century.[3] There were three Bulgarian schools in Emporio in the beginning of the 20th century.[4] In 1913, after the Balkan Wars and with the conditions of the Treaty of Bucharest, this area of Macedonia became part of Greece and local Bulgarians were oppressed by Greek guerillas.[5] As a result, many Bulgarians from Emporio emigrated to Bulgaria.
