The village has a school, a church, a plateia (square) and some restaurants. The village after the early-1990s is almost fully accessed by paved roads. The village never has a railway station because the train tracks used to run 1 km east. Much of the small community is covered with olive groves and some trees while the east has some mixed farming.
