The population from 1991 to 2001 revived growth and was one of the only places in the municipality that saw population increase.

Until the beginning of the 20th century, the village was known as Moulatsi.

Until the pavement of the road and the one linking Karytaina and Dimitsana in the mid-20th century, the village didn't had paved roads or electricity. Until the mid-1980s, much of the houses were stone-built.

In 2001, a fire consumed much of the forest north and east of Elliniko. It burnt trees, farms, and it was burning for a few days. The consumption was small.
