history

Since the 15th century there have been four settlements in the vicinity that were privileged areas during the Turkish period . These later united to form the village of Tserna Reka because of repeated attacks by Turkish gangs. The townscape is dominated by buildings that have been built since the 1950s. Because of its architecture and the typical interior decoration as an important testimony to the history of the 19th century, the church of Agios Athanasios was designated as a monument. The inhabitants live mainly from growing cereals and tobacco and from fruit trees.
