Megalochori means “large village”. Its existence is recorded back to the 17th century. Home to historical mansions, old traditional houses, pirate hideaways and wine canavas, it has a history of merchants and wealthy land barons exporting Vinsanto wine that the island still produces. A prominent feature of the historical homes and mansions are the high walls, inner courtyards and solid wooden door entrances, built for privacy and for safety against marauding pirates.A great effort is been made by local residents and businessmen to preserve the characteristics and beauty of this traditional settlement, and many of the original houses that had fallen into disrepair, have been restored to their former glory.

You will visit Saint Paraskevi Church & Saint Photini Church.The church of Saint (Agia) Paraskevi in Megalochori is striking for its unusual yellow belltower! Below the fertile vineyards there is, the picturesque little church of Saint Photini the Samaritan, which is dug into the hard volcanic rock and the "aspa" or hard white volcanic soil.
