Domnista, a small village in southeastern Evritania, just 35 km from Karpenisi is surrounded by dense fir forests and towering mountain peaks.
According to the legend, during the period of the Frankish Knights, the noblewoman Domna, devastated by the loss of her daughter, Domnista, gave this small village its name. A name that has remained engraved in people's memory for years.
The once agricultural crossroads that many people visited daily, is now inhabited by 287 Domnistians who are proud of their place. In the middle of the village, the small square with its cafes waits patiently twice a year to host its visitors recalling moments of greatness.
At the famous religious festival of Prophet Elias on July 20 and at the "feast of tsipouro" at the end of October. The historic bridge of Krikellopotamos on the main road of the village, the old watermills and threshing floors hidden in the rich forest areas, ponds and picturesque churches, some half-ruined mansions testify to the glamor of this place for centuries.
The inhabitants of the area actively participated in the revolution of 1821. From there the action of the famous chiefs of Gioldasides began and a few years later, in 1824, George Karaiskakis arrived defeated after the battle of Vracha. The majestic past of the village, however, had not yet been written. At the end of April 1941, surrendered Greece became a pawn in the hands of Germans, Italians and Bulgarians.
Evritania was under the siege of the Italians with the central administration of "Alba Julia" in Lamia. Then, timidly, liberation movements began to erupt, instilling in the citizens a sense of freedom and disobedience.
