History
Malakasi tribe
The Malakasioi (Template:Lang-gr) was an Albanian or Vlach tribe or clan that moved from Epirus towards Thessaly with the Bouioi and Mesaritai in the 14th century. They were well armed. At the time they "lived in no town but in inaccessible places". They settled the central Pindus, between Thessaly and Epirus. Although Kantakouzenos called them "Albanians" they were Vlachs, and according to Alain Ducellier they left due to social oppression and upheavals. Their name most likely derived from the plain of Malakastra between Valona and Berat (in Albania).
From 1367 to 1370, Ioannina, the capital of Toma Preljubović was under constant siege and blocked by the Mazaraki and Malakasi clans under Peter Losha.
Ottoman period
During the Ottoman period, Epirus and Aetolia-Acarnania were divided into five armatolikia: Malakasi, Tzoumerka, Xeromero, Lidorikion, and Venetiko.
In May 1871, Malakasi was the seat of the Malakasi nahiye of the Ioannina kaza.
Demographics
The village is inhabited by "Vlachs" (Βλαχι), who are called Malakasi and inhabit the villages from Malakasi to Gardiki.
