Kalamoti is a traditional village with approximately 850 inhabitants. Their main occupation is the cultivation of the fragrant resin mastic and the horticulture in the fertile plain that extends from the village to Komi.
North of Kalamoti the medieval tower of Zyvos is located, which was destroyed during the earthquake of 1881. This tower was the scenery of the representatives’ election and of the general meetings of the “Public of Mastic-villages”. Near the towers remnants is the Byzantine church Panayia of Sicelia, dated back to the 13th century and the home of a beautiful ceramic decoration.
Komi is the enchanting beach of Kalamoti, which in recent years has rapidly become a significant independent sea resort. In addition in the south of Kalamoti is also the significant church of Panaghia Agrelopoussaina, which constitutes a dependent monastery of Nea Moni.
