"Zirka zwei Kilometer schluchteinwärts liegt die ursprüngliche Siedlung Agia Roumeli, heute "Palea Agia Roumeli" genannt. 1952 wurde das Dorf von einem Hochwasser stark zerstört. Nach Etablierung des Nationalparks und des neuen Dorfes am Hafen verwaiste der Ort. Seit dem Herbst 2008 finden umfassende Instandsetzungsarbeiten statt.

Die namensgebende Kirche und der Friedhof - auch für das neue Dorf - befinden sich allerdings noch immer an der alten Stätte." - Quelle: Wikipedia
