History

Before 1922, the village was inhabited by Turks and its name was Haidarli. Following the population exchange between Greece and Turkey, Greeks from Eastern Thrace moved into Haidarli. Turks followed the same route but towards the opposite direction. A few years ago, the population of Vaptistis was about 1000 people. Nowadays, its population is around 500 since many have abandoned it and moved into cities, such as Thessaloniki and Athens.
