History
During the Ottoman period Kyani was known under the name Çavuşlu.[2] At the beginning of the 20th century, a Greek school with 25 students was under operation in the village.[2] Kyani became part of Greece after the end of World War I. Its current population is mostly descendants of Greek refugees from Eastern Thrace and Muslims.
