Kyriaki (Κυριάκι) Voiotia
Kyriaki is a mountain village in the prefecture of Viotia. It is built at an altitude of 760 meters on the northwestern slopes of Elikonas. Kyriaki is a municipal unit of the Municipality of Levadeon with five settlements and its population is 2,185 inhabitants (2011 census).
Administrative changes
Until the establishment of the modern Greek state, Kyriaki belonged to Fokida. Livadia was exactly the border between Phocis and Boeotia. The needs of the creation of the province of Livadia for the small town of Livadia, the capital of the province, led to its annexation to the Prefecture of Viotia. The same happened with the Holy Monastery of Saint Luke in Antikyra, Arachova and other settlements.
Geography
The community of Kyriaki
Kyriaki is about 18 km from Livadia, the seat of the homonymous municipality and the capital of the prefecture of Viotia. It is also connected by road with the villages of Steiri and Agia Anna. It is surrounded by a Kefalonian fir forest. Despite its high altitude, it is very close to the sea as it is a few kilometers from the northern shores of the Gulf of Corinth. Many marked mountain trails, Byzantine and post-Byzantine chapels are scattered within its geographical boundaries. In winter it snows very often and almost 2-3 months a year the village is covered by a lot of snow.
History
Ancient history
Kyriaki is located in the same place where in ancient times was the Phocian city of Flygonio with its citadel today's Paliokastro. «Φλυγόνιον. The city of Fokida is also called Flygonia. The citizen Flygonios and Flygonievs "[1].
Flygonio was one of the cities destroyed by Xerxes' Persian army on its way from Phocis. [2] It was also destroyed in 346 BC in the third holy war by Philip II the Macedonian, along with other Phocian cities, applying the punishment imposed by the Amfiktiones of Delphi on the Phocians, because they cultivated part of the valley of Amfissa which was considered to belong to in the holy oracle, as mentioned by the ancient traveler Pausanias.

History and manner of installation of Arvanites.
The Arvanites settled in Boeotia towards the end of the Byzantine period, originating from Northern Epirus to central Albania more specifically, from the Tuscany tribal region. In particular, the largest wave of Arvanites in Boeotia was found in the area via Thessaly Magnesia, where in the meantime the Serbs had spread, while others came from Arta and Acarnania via Fokida. Essentially, they settled as cultivators and warriors / soldiers (stradioti) with the concession of timars or provisions (provided) due to the services they provided to the Western conquerors. Specifically, they arrived in the area in 1383, at the invitation of the Catalan Duke of Athens and the High Priest Ramon de Vilanova.
However, it seems that there were older Arvanite settlements in Boeotia, according to the Arvanite toponyms Kapraina (= Zarkadou) for Chaeronia and Skripou (= Almyros) for Orchomenos, which have been mentioned since the 13th century in the Chronicles of Morea and others. . The rulers offered the Arvanites, in return for their military services, agricultural and livestock land and exemption from taxation for a period of time.
The process and manner of their installation have been studied by important historians and archaeologists, such as the Dutch Kiel and the Englishman Bintliff. The Arvanites first settled in pure micro-settlements, the katounes (in their language katud means village), in lowland and later in mountainous areas (eg Elikonas) on the outskirts of the villages. Then, they gradually entered the larger settlements-villages, which pre-existed in the lowland and mountainous zone.
The Arvanite settlement in Boeotia is of great historical interest and needs to be studied more extensively in order to fully understand the recent history of Boeotia.

Arvanite language
Kyriaki is a bilingual village whose inhabitants speak Arvanitika, along with the Greek language. Until the late 1960s, Albanian was their main language. Today the language is spoken only by older residents. Those born in the 1970s understand it when the older ones speak it, but they do not have a good ability to speak when they speak it themselves, while the younger ones do not understand it and few understand it. Arvanitian is now one of the most endangered languages in Europe.
