AGRICULTURE

The village's inhabitants were occupied with agriculture since the old days. Some had their own fields, which they tilled. However, most of the village's inhabitants were landless and were compelled to obtain fields from those that had ones through a partnership regime so as to cultivate. The owner granted the -cultivated -field, the water, half the chemicals and half of the fertilisers. The worker provided his labour and half of the expenses. The two shared the revenue equally.

PANAGIA AGGELOKTISTI

In Kiti there's the ancient church of "Panagia Aggeloktisti" (meaning "Virgin Mary, built by Angels"). There are two versions regarding the name of the church. The first reports that when it was decided to build the church, the decision was not for the location where it stands today but for some other place. However, having begun setting the foundations in that place they observed that -as if through a miracle -the foundations had been transferred to the area where the church is today.
