History

After World War II and the Greek Civil War, many of its buildings were rebuilt. Electricity and automobiles arrived in the 1960s, it was linked with pavement in the late-20th century, television arrived in the 1980s. Internet and computers arrived in the late-1990s. The village's population reduced by one half between 1981 and 2001.

The Christian Name "Dikaia"

The adjective Dikaia is also given as a Christian name to the females of the island of Symi in the Dodecanese. The name is also frequent in the island of Rhodes only because many inhabitants of Symi have moved to the capital of the Dodecanese. (see also Dikaios Karaiskakis)
