History

According to legend, the name Agia Anna (Saint Anne) derives from a miracle related to a picture of Saint Anne. Around the 18th century, the villagers there survived after a pirate attack. After that, they found a picture of Saint Anne leading by a woman's vision. Specifically, the village was built in 1776. During the Ottoman occupation of Greece, Agia Anna had been the largest and richest commune of the area, with 60 families residing there.
