    The word "Katafygi" (Καταφύγι) simply means "refuge" or "shelter" in Greek. Since gorges and caves often served as hiding places for the local population during the Ottoman occupation or pirate attacks, numerous places throughout Greece bear this name (e.g., also on the islands of Kythnos or Ikaria).
