History

The main feature of this area is the rich mines, whose activity dates from 600 B.C. In antiquity the city of Stratonicea was located there. Modern Stratoni was built in the 19th century and its first residents were the miners of the local mines. After the Asia Minor Disaster the population increased due to the arrival of refugees from Asia Minor. In 1932 the village suffered great damages from the earthquake in nearby Ierissos.^[2][3] Nowadays the mining activity continues to be the main occupation of the residents.
