Cities & Villages

ABOUT

The village is famous for its table olives and the wine it produces, while there are also several traditional distilleries, known as “cauldrons”.

Nowadays, most of the buildings of the settlement were built after the end of World War II, as the Ano Meros was destroyed by the Nazis on August 22, 1944, along with six other villages of Amari.

The historical and folklore museum of Ano Meros includes a collection of objects from the daily life of the village up to and after the middle of the 20th century, such as looms, textiles, agricultural tools, etc. Moreover, there are small traditional cafes in the village in order for someone to enjoy tsikoudia and delicious traditional snacks.
