In the summer of 1825, the Battle of Isari became an episode of heroic resistance by the Greeks against the forces of Ibrahim. Led by the local captain Athanasios Sioris, approximately 150 men defended the village against superior Egyptian and Albanian troops. Although reinforcements arrived from Karyes, Isari was completely destroyed. Despite their defeat, the Greek fighters inflicted significant losses on the enemy and were remembered by their contemporaries for the bravery they displayed.
