Kosmadei

You will reach Kosmadei via a detour in the middle of the road Lekka-Kastania and after approximately 6 km. It’s on the northern slopes of Fterias mountain.
The first residents came from Kastania village and the name derives from it’s first inhabitant who was named “Kosmas”.

The inhabitants are occupied in agriculture, mainly olive trees, vineyards and livestock. In earlier days they were also producing charcoal and firewood.

By following a dirt road to the southwest of the village and after walking in a wonderful environment you will reach the Monastery of “Kakoperato” dedicated to Holly Mary. It is located on an altitude of 580 meters above sea level and continuing further this road you’ll find yourselves at the beach of Seitani. It is a small monastery in a extraordinary environment and 500 meters away from it there’s a cave with a small chapel in it. This area belongs to Marathokambos but it's closer and easier to reach it through Kosmadei.

The small but quite old settlement of Nikoloudes belongs to Kosmadei. It has 29 inhabitants and it is located 2 km before Kosmadei on the road that leads to the village. They are named after its first inhabitant who was named Nikolou. The name still exists in the village.

The whole area surrounding Kosmadei is very wooded and has a wonderful view.
 

Its highest ever-recorded population was recorded in the 1940 census, 378 people.
