The Local Community of Fylaki is located at the northwestern edge of the Magnesia Prefecture and belongs to the Municipality of Almyros, from which it is only a few minutes away. It was once a thriving village with many inhabitants, a school, a police station, and much activity; today, it is inhabited by few residents.

However, the history of the area goes even further back in time. The first settlements date back to the Neolithic Era, around 5,000 BC. These are the well-documented prehistoric settlements of Perdika (Dautzia) and Fylaki. Specifically, the latter, as mentioned by Homer in the famous epics, continued to be inhabited during the Bronze Age and historical times.

The landscape is peaceful, with many gentle transitions between the slopes of low cultivated hills and small ravines in between. Cholorema, the largest stream draining the area toward Pagasitikos Bay, dominates the region and serves as the natural passage to the west. At the westernmost edge, very close to Fylaki and its cave, lies the Enippeas River.

The village houses follow the traditional style with whitewashed walls and flower-filled courtyards. The residents primarily engage in agriculture and livestock farming and are known for their hospitality and kindness.
