Angeliki Damala
Use the memorial beside the primary school as a point of orientation for Angeliki Damala’s teaching and community work. This is a connection with the school; the memorial is not dedicated to her.
Born in Kalamoti, Angeliki Damala returned in 1936 to teach at its primary school. Her local biography describes an educator whose work reached beyond the classroom, into theatre, cultural events and community life.
