Archaeologists have revealed that the
area of Ditiko has probably been inhabited since prehistoric times.
The first contemporary settlement was named Konikovo, meaning an area
with a lot of horses. In 1922 this area was settled by Pontos refugees, who named
the settlement Stiva, due to the many hayricks there. Later on, and as of 1955,
the community was named Ditiko.
The majority of Ditiko residents are of Pontos origin and are stubborn
in promoting their culture. The club "Ipsilante" operates within the framework
of this notion and organizes the Ipsilantia Events every year. These events include
traditional Pontos song and dance on the day of St. Constantine's celebration.
The Ditiko area, as indicated by historical sources, presents with
significant activity in the Macedonian struggle era. This is the alias Nikoforos

in1987, which has displayed a very successful and upward course with significant
distinctions. The 40 wrestlers enjoy high morale and confidence and look forward
to the 2004 Olympic Games.
