Cistern of Malethona (Tranakatika)

The name comes from the Italian "male" (bad) and the Greek suffix "-thanas," indicating an ominous or bad passage.

Located on the public road, 1.5 km from Gaios in the settlement of Tranakatika, it was constructed by contractor Panagiotis Andronis, next to Vathi (an old well, 8 meters deep).

It is made of stone with a square shape and a capacity of around 28,000 cubic meters.

It is supplied by a spring, from rainwater flowing down from the hills, and from surface water.
