an altitude of 330m, at a distance of 2km from ancient
Messini. It is a small traditional village with several stone houses. Around

settled in the village and they were the first to give it the name Syriza, a distortion
of which later gave the name Simiza. The first official appearance of the name
Simiza is in the census carried out by the Venetians in 1700. Based on that census
19 families with 31 men and 29 women lived in the village.
Arsinoi contributed to the 1821 War for the Independence two great
fighters, Yiannis Tsiros and Yiannis Lekkas or Lekopoulos who served as an officer.
Up to 1833 it belonged to the province of Implakia. In 1836 it became part of
the newly founded municipality of Ithome. In the beginning of the 20th century
and up to 1927 it was part of the community of Mavromati and had 238 inhabitants.
From that moment on it became a separate village with 241 inhabitants, until 1998
when it was incorporated in the Municipality of Ithome.
The Primary School of Arsinoi that operated since 1937 moved to a
new building in 1952. The village was linked to the water network in 1958. The
church was built in 1970, which was also the year the community office was built

KEFALINOS (Village) ITHOMI
The village is situated at the foot of the Kapsalas Mountain. It dates
back to the 11th - 12th century AD. Kefalinos, a Norman landowner, to whom it
owes its name, built it.
On the east, opposite the village, lies the Panayia (Virgin Mary)
Mountain. The church "Deposition of the holly belt" dedicated to Virgin Mary is
on its top.
Water is abundant in the Kefalinos village and it springs from fountains
under the shadow of plane trees, on the three sides of the village. The first
fountain called Pano Vryssi (upper fountain) originates from the top of the Kapsalas
Mountain and used to be decorated with two arches out of which only one has been
saved. The second one, Pera Vryssi (far-away fountain), is estimated to be over
700 year-old and consists of two springs. The water of Krya Vryssi (fresh fountain)
comes from a spring under the Holy Altar of the church of Agios (Saint) Athanasios.
Kefalinos is the birthplace of Ilias Kormas, hero of the 1821 Greek
War for the Independence, chieftain of Kontovounia and one of the prominent personalities
of the area.
