It was one of the most important towns of the island during the Middle Ages, it was destroyed, though, almost completely from an earthquake in 1881. It is built in a plain with olive trees. The sights of the region are the ruins of the medieval towers and the churches. Kallimasia has been the seat of Anemonas and Ionia.
