.jpg) This beautiful and picturesque village is located on the slopes of mount "Kakia Skala". So it overlooks all the Kampochora, the Kambos, the sea and the coast of Ionia (Asia Minor) across the Aegean. The village was named after dafnes (=laurels) and it’s 9.5 kilometers away from the city of Chios. The tradition mentions that the village comes from an old settlement at Petrana, at Kanavoutsata, or at Lavrina. It was transferred to its present location, according to the tradition, at the end of the 10th and the beginning of the 11th century. The patron Saint of the village is Aghios Panteleimon, the church of whom is at the entrance of the village with a wonderful stone belltower, built in 1990. |

Around the village there are the places Kanavoutsato, Stratigato, Vestarchato, where there was plenty of Medieval ruins. Those names show the marks the Genoese leadership left in the area, like the ruined castle in the center of the village, the tower in Lavrina, etc. |
