On the eastern edge of the village is located "Rachi", where the soccer fields and basketball courts, and from where the view is unobscured and panoramic. The human eye can see, without a hitch and as their capabilities are adequate, the mountains of Meteora by Hasia and important part of the Thessalian plain.
The climate is fairly healthy, but very humid, with cold winters but not wild and cool summers.

All these parameters make up a village with a distinct identity and charming personality. And like all villages, so Kalomoira has their "own history", only that the historian's life is relatively short. The first settlement was founded by residents of Old Godovasdas, to be moved, in the decade 1820-1830. The settlement was originally named New Godovasda and is a natural and historical continuity of the Old Godovasdas. Built almost in the same place, where there was many centuries ago another village, Kryoneri (Gkrynero).
