Beliving a legende about the time 1745 a.Chr. the village was at an other place. But the village got destroyed by pirates.
Prince Savel escaped and rebuilt the village there where you can find it today. The village was called Kaki which means

the village today out of the two names before.

dicover Kallirachi is by feet. Only in this way it is possible to feel the flair of the old houses. It is not
possible to get lost in Kallirachi, but because of the twisty style it is very easy to loose the synopsis.
