Kallithea in Ancient Times
The area is of archaeological interest, as a temple of Dionysus and the Nymphs, part of the Temple of Ammon Zeus (who was worshipped in the 5th century BC) and the altar area has been excavated in Kallithea. A large Doric temple in honour of Ammon Zeus was constructed in the mid-fourth century BC.
Modern History
The village was founded in 1925 by refugees who settled in the area after the Asia Minor Catastrophe, coming from the village of Maltepe of Propontis in Asia Minor, known as Vryas in Antiquity and Pelekanon in Byzantium.
