Fourfouras 2902 hits
Fourfouras. A beautiful, full of greenery village built on the top of a rock on a height of 460 m at the foot of Psiloritis, looks like a fortress. That is why it is called Fourfouras. A remarkable church in the area is one of Virgin Mary Kardiotissa of the Byzantine Period, which some time ago was a convent, with marvelous frescos of the 14th-15th century. 

The village who is built on the western part of Mt. Psiloritis, is noted for its revolutionary action during the Greek struggle of 1821 and 1866. Near Apodoulos village there are still Minoan settlements and graves. In Vizari village, you can visit the woodcarving workshops. From Fourfouras and from Kouroutes village a mountaineering route leads you to the stone-build Holy Cross church at the highest peak of Mt. Psiloritis.

The road continues with a few turns and gets to Kouroutes on a height of 510 m.
