== History == === Antiquity === Northeast (about 4 km) of Melenikitsi, in the place "Leginitsko", the necropolis of a Roman settlement was discovered, where they had been found three epitaph inscriptions of the imperial times (1st century AD). From the existence of Thracian population, which suggests the Thracian names in the inscriptions, it is deduced that the settlement existed before the Roman conquest. Regarding the ancient topography, the settlement was located near the borders of the Odomantice and Sintice and on the Roman road of Philippi - Heracleia Sintice, which passed through the city of Sirra (Serres today).
