There are several Kaminia toponyms. In all these areas, there were stone firing kilns (kaminia), which were used before 1920 to burn limestone and produce lime, suitable for constructing houses. In some of these areas, stand the remains of these firing kilns, namely piles of stones and mud.

Wood from Phrenaros and the surrounding villages was necessitated in order for the firing kilns to work, and that led to a great destruction of nearby woods. When local limestone was exhausted, they had to bring limestone from Voni.

The following toponyms are found in the village:
- Kamini of Amoskos

Kamini of Kazavotos: The name of the firing kiln in inextricably connected to its location. The name of the area is, according to Costis Shiopachas, related to the Turkish word ‘kaza’, which means district.
