History

The village was first mentioned in an Ottoman defter of 1481, under the name of Mokreni, and was described as having sixty-nine households.^[3] In the beginning of 19th century Francois Pouqueville noted Mocrena as one of the Bulgarian villages in the region.^[4] The population of Mocreni was Bulgarian in 19th and early 20th centuries. The population of the village was under the supremacy of the Bulgarian Exarchate since 1891.^[5]

The village was burned by the Turks during the Ilinden Uprising.^[6] There was a Bulgarian school in the village in the beginning of the 20th century.^[7] After the Treaty of Bucharest in 1913, when the area became part of Greece, many people emigrated to Bulgaria. The village was renamed Variko in 1926.

After the defeat of Greece by Nazi Germany in April 1941 in the village was formed a club of the Bulgaro-Macedonian Central Committee and in 1943 a detachment of the Bulgarian paramilitary organization Ohrana.^[8] The village suffered greatly during the Greek Civil War, when many villagers emigrated abroad.
