The name of Rovies is attributed according to local folk tradition to the small green “rovi”, which is a small green bean that thrived in the area and was suitable for cattle feed; while some researchers attribute the name is derived from the mythological creature, Orova. The history of the area dates back to Paleolithic era. In ancient times, Rovies was identified, by Strabo and Thucydides, with the city of “Horoviae”, which was located near the city of Aiges(Limni). “Horoviae” is mentioned by Strabo in relation to the “unfailing oracle of Apollo Selinountios”, where Hercules and Apollo, were worshiped.

In the center of the village dominates a medieval tower, which was built by the Franks in the 13th century and served as a pirate lookout. Later it was used by Venetians, Turks, and Greeks.
