The settlement of Agios Dimitrios is located on the 4th km from Karlovasi to Samos Town and one km to the south is the village of Kontakeika. As Ep. Stamatiades mentions, it was named after its first inhabitant, one by the name of George Kotis who came to settle in the area in 1750. Even today there are many people named Kotakis in the village. The village has considerable arable land and the residents are mostly occupied in agriculture and mainly horticulture and greenhouses. Close to the village is the waterfront area Limanaki (small harbor) that is quite scenery. Settlements belonging to Kontakeika are: Agios Dimitrios with 146 residents, Agios Elias with 64 Agios Nikolaos with 33 and Vrises with 83 residents. Agios Nikolaos is the North most inhabited area of Samos Island and it is developed because of tourism.
