Kalamafka was probably the site of an ancient Greek city called Larissa which was occupied by Ierapytna and its habitants forced to leave for Ierapytna. Later some of them were allowed to return. In the hill of Kastellos there is a cave and within it the church of Stavros, reached by an ascent of 242 steps, after which one may enjoy the view from the top.
