t was reported for first time in 1284 in documents of M. Layra's monastery. Her name shows the existence of ancient settlement one and emanates from the name "Attica". Obviously Athenians they gave this name the 4th or 5th century, or in recollection of their homeland, or because in her fertile plain they planted Atticas (olive trees or fig trees).

That him they do not report by no means the sightseers, it made a lot of researchers believe that it was built on Ottoman domination. However her omission should not surprise, after the sightseers interested itself mainly for the harbours and the see settlements and ignored interior.
Round the Atsjki existed older enough settlements or "metohia", that today have been abandoned. Such were, a) the Krinida, where existed temple of Hercules at the antiquity and took this name from somebody called "krini", that existed in the middle of village, b) Genovion near in the Saint Ermolaos, c) the Trohala, which report the Choiseul-Gouffier in 1785 as Trovala and d) the Palioporta , name that emanates from the ancient Old Praitorion and was found between ancient monuments, as they realised sightseers of 18 century (Conze, Reinach).
