Mikro Kazaviti

If you follow the left road in the crossroad of Prinos and in a distance of 4 klm, you will reach the first Kazaviti, the so called Mikro Kazaviti (Small Prinos). 500 m after that lays Megalo Kazaviti (Big Prinos). They are definitely the most traditional little villages built in a hills’ slope, inside a dale. Unfortunately, today a lot of houses have been abandoned by the local people who left for finding jobs and better life in the lowlands of the island or ever further away. Resisting in time, the old stone houses with the wooden balconies and the hand-paιnted ceilings, climb up in scales through dense greenery. In the past century, these villages were called Papaz-Mahala and Tsingoura respectively. The Kazavitia villages flourished during the years when the highland villages had many more inhabitants and were well developed due to the piracy overruling the seaside areas. Today, you can visit Kazaviti and admire the remains of the schools, the old mansions and the churches, but mo stly to relax and enjoy the sounds of nightingales and running water. The nature of the area is very generous
