Here one can see a complex of traditional stone hydraulic works, consisting of microdams, channels and retaining walls for the arrangement of the ravine.

Here lies a complex of traditional stone hydraulic works, consisting among others of “ties” (microdams), channels and retaining walls for the arrangement of the ravine. With these projects the inhabitants achieved the optimal use of flowing waters, mainly for agricultural and livestock purposes. Also, in various places of the ravine, such as Keramari, Amiralis and Bagianika, laundry areas are built, where women used to do the traditional laundry.
