Agios Prokopios is a small community of cattle-breeders (100 inhabitants
in the winter and 250 during summertime) in an altitude of 620 m. in the wooded
slopes of Koziakas, among the crowns Drampala (1.298 m.), Dimitraki (1.300 m.)
and Diamandi (1.680 m.) under the famous homonymous monastery and above the dam
of the river Dramizioti, with the watermill of the 1880 next to it. From the top
of Drampala, we face the lake of Plastiras, the Thessalian plain and the castle
of Fanari.
In the sources Tzjom, Mana, Fteri, Kanalako, Megakampo and Pergina
of Padi plateau, are often seen roe deers, wolves, foxes, ferrets and some time
bears.
From the big monastery of Agios Prokopios of the 18th century, which
was extended in an area of 48 acres above the village, the only thing that remained
afterwards its demolition in 1960, is ruins. In 1986 the temple of Ag. Prokopios
went up from pedestals. Along with Agjos Prokopios, the name of a Saint is connected,
Kosmas the Aitolos and that of a thief, Gioulas. The village celebrates the memory
of Agios Prokopios on July 8, with dixies and folk revelry that follow the service.
