Pissouri Local History
In the past, the village of Pissouri, on the hill had a fishing jetty a few kilometers down the hill on the coast. From the early 1980s a separate community has developed around the jetty.
Both parts of Pissouri have maintained an excellent balance by retaining their traditional outlook on life and developing the tourist industry so that it just satisfies the needs of travelers without impacting on society. Most of the inhabitants of the town are farmers; this area is renowned for growing grapes.
