Other things to note Kalamoti is one of the biggest villages in Chios, in the southeast area. It is one of the 21 “masticha” villages in a good condition as it concerns the middle aged estate. It is 24 kilometres away from the city of Chios. There are two rumours about the name of Kalamoti. The first owns the name to a kind of jewellery which completed the women’s clothing. The second and the most prevalent is to mean “cane plexus” which were used for the growing of silkworm. This is still shown today. The today’s estate of Kalamoti has its shape from the period of sea keeping (1346-1566). This fact forced the residents to create land in a piece of area where the village would be invisible from the enemies and at the same time watch the pirate ships coming. This signal was coming from the villager who was lighting a fire to inforn the residents for the enemy. In 1566 Chios was conceived by Turkish and Kalamoti passed to them due to the great production and wealth from “masticha “trees. In 1912 Chios was liberated and constructed the first primary school.After the end of the Greece- Italy war and the German tenure, the need for reconstruction was strong. The next step in the spiritual evolution of Kalamoti became in 1950 after the erection of the High school. Registration Details 00000539824
