The settlement Rivio fainded the families of the village Papadatou , after about 1860. The name Rivio canbe derived from the slavic word << Rybbje-ryba >> meaning << fish >> . Here fits this explanation because the lake region Amvrakia is rich in fish.

San Efsthathios church was built on 12 September 1967. The expenditure for its building came mainly  from the villagers. Today it is seen as the main attraction of the village and a lot of ceremonies take place there.
