Description

The village was well known from the very old years, from the season of copper. This is testified by the mines of copper that exist in the around region of the ancient Tamassos, and also by the rust and the residues from the treatment of metal and export of copper. In the village of Kapedes existed one of the biggest factories for the treatment of copper.

The season where emperor of Rome was the Title 79-81AC it is reported that an explosion of a volcano at the mountain of Tyrant, destroyed the village with two other villages without reporting their names. We conclude however that the settlements are found in the northeastern side of Kapedes where exist ruins of the Roman season. This information it appears that it is not true, because the geologists that studied the rocks of the island exclude such a phenomenon and particularly during that season. Later, in 1464 is reported that the village of Kapedes was given as gift to Benedetto Vernazza.

Later, the Archimandrite Kyprianos, in his history that was published in 1788, reports that Kapedes, Metochi of the Abbey of Archangel, belong to a family, obviously descendants of Benedetto Vernazza, which abandoned him, perhaps because of the low incomes that they had from him.

The village of Kapedes existed at the period of the Ottoman domination and likely at the period of "Frangkokratias" and the "Venetokratias". The Monastery of Macheras owned the region of the village, and some of the monks of the monastery were coming from this village.
