History
Kalpaki joined Greece after the Balkan Wars of 1913. The Battle of Elaia–Kalamas took place in the area in November 1940, during the Italian invasion of Greece.
On January 7th, 02:00am UTC, an IF2 ranked tornado hit Kalpaki, Greece. The tornado destroyed a poultry farm, killing tens of thousands of chickens. The tornado also significantly damaged two other buildings, both of which had partially collapsed walls. A church, watchtowers and other structures were also damaged. This would become one of the worst tornadoes in Europe in 2026.[3]
