Side of the church of Hagios Nikolaos near Kanalia: "A little over an hour from Kaprena and more than halfway to Kanalia (Boebe) stands the church of Hagios Nikolaos. This, as stated by Leake, is all that is left of the village of Kalra which gave the lake its modern name." (Wace 1906, The Topography of Pelion and Magnesia, The Journal of Hellenic Studies, vol.26, pp.143-168, 157).
