This Hanioti village records have been recorded as early as the early 18th century. Prior to 1955 Hanioti was located 2 kilometers closer to
the mountain than where it is today. Ruins of the original village and the church still exist in the older original Hanioti village area.
In the new village area there are remnants of earlier inhabitants dating back as far as the Greek classical years.
It is possible that these ruins could have been the ancient city of Aeghai or Aegi.
