Foteino (Greek: Φωτεινό ,"framed":false,"icon":"volumeUp","label":{"html":"pronunciation \/fotin\u00f3\/"},"data":{"ipa":"","text":"","lang":"en","wikibase":"","file":"Gr-Fotino.ogg"},"classes":}">pronunciation /fotinó/]) is a village (community) in the municipal unit of Kompoti in the regional unit of Arta, Greece. In 2021 its population was 165.

History

The old name of the village, Hósiana (Greek: Χώσιανα), appears for the first time in 1696, in a historic document in which the villages of Arta asked the Venetian Republic for protection from pirates.

In 1899, a new church was built by destroying a small old one, dating to the early 12th century

The village was constituted as a separate commune with the 186/10.08.1947 government gazette (ΦΕΚ). Until then it was part of the commune of Ano-Petra. With ΦΕΚ 195/23.07.1953, its name changed from Hosiana to Fotino, and with law 2539/1997, as part of the Kapodistrias reforms, the commune became a municipal district of the municipality of Kompoti.
