Origin of Name
There is a story about this name, according to which during the Turkish occupation there was a king who ruled in some villages of the area (now called Koumaria, Kato Kamila, Adelfiko, etc.). At that time the area of Adelfiko was swampy and uninhabited. A young man, Angos, fell in love with this king's daughter. However, this young man owed some money to the king and so he did not dare to ask her to marry her father. The girl also loved Agos and so he stole her. But in order not to be found by the girl's father, they went and hid in this swamp. Since then, the area was called Agkos Machalas, meaning the place where Agkos lives.
