History[]

Kokkinopilos was founded in the 12th century by Aromanian farmers.[4] It was captured by the Ottomans in 1442 was administered as a chiflik.[5] After a failed revolt against the Turkish Ottomans during the Greek War of Independence, the village was captured and looted by Ottoman troops.[5] On 8 October 1912 Kokkinopilos was liberated by the Greek Army.[5] During the Axis occupation of Greece the village was burned twice: in 1943 by the Italians and in 1944 by the Germans.[4][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]
