The stone-built village of Promyri clings to the steep hillsides of a long valley reaching the sea at Katigiorgis.

The narrow streets are made of cobblestone and are surrounded by trees providing shade from the sun.

Others were built at the turn of the 20th century in a neoclassical style and are linked by stone footpaths between gardens filled with flowers.

Promyri has traditional grocery shops, a bakery with wood fired ovens and butchers.

There is now a modern supermarket and the main square is shaded by a vast plane tree flanked by a couple of tavernas.
