Info for Doliani

DOLIANΙ

Doliani is a mountain village in Epirus, one of the 46 of Zagorochoria of Ioannina. Doliani is built at an altitude of 920m. at East Zagori. To 1943 was burned down three times by the Germans and therefore featured martyr village. It is said that during the Second World War were destroyed 93 stone houses that’s why in the village have now very few old houses. The name of the village is considered to have Slavic origin. John Lampridis writes that means "place of gorge" and "downhill". Doliani really is in downhill terrain. Also, the word dol in Slavic means valley and gorge. This fully justifies the designation of John Lambridis. In 1955, the settlement and the community attempted to be renamed to New Amarousio. In 1984, however, they called again Doliani. In the village do not stay more than 60 residents. Their main occupation is agriculture, livestock, beekeeping and logging.
