History

edit

Kokkinopilos was captured by the Ottomans in 1442 was administered as a chiflik.[5] The settlement is recorded as village and as "Kokinopulo" in the Ottoman Tahrir Defter number 101 dating to 1521.[6] After a failed revolt against the Ottoman authorities during the Greek War of Independence, the village was captured and looted by Ottoman troops.[5]

During the Balkan Wars the advancing Greek army entered the village in21 October 1912.[5] During the Axis occupation of Greece the village was burned twice: in 1943 by the Italians and in 1944 by the Germans.[7][5] The latter resulted to the scattering of the population of the village, in Katerini and Thessaloniki and to the establishment of Kalyvia as a permanent settlement.[5]
