History

Houses were damaged during World War II and the Greek Civil War, and rebuilt afterwards.

Electricity and automobiles arrived in the 1960s, an asphalt road in the late-20th century, and television in the 1980s. Internet and computers arrived in the late-1990s. Many houses are abandoned.

Lichada was struck by a forest fire in July 2007. It consumed about 10 square kilometres of land in the mountains. Several houses and properties were damaged and residents were homeless.
