History

The Tristeno of Eastern Zagori is not known when it was created as a village. It was first mentioned to wrtitnigs referred to in a golden edict of 1319 (a type of concession) of Andronikos II to a lord of Ioannina called Drestenikos, whose name existed at least until the last century in Ioannina.

Apparently from the name of this Byzantine honorary, the village was named Drestenikos Greek: Δρεστένικος and later Dresteniko Greek: Δρεστένικο and Ntresteniko Greek: Ντρεστένικο. Several years after the liberation of Epirus (1912-1913), in 1927 with a decree[4] (ΦΕΚ 76/1927), it was renamed Tristeno, out of the three straits that exist above the village.

The first settlers are mentioned as shepherds from Himarra who brought their sheep for grazing in Zagori in the summer. This version is not accepted by the village's inhabitants who oppose the view that the first settlers came from Veria and were craftsmen.
