About the village Vouni
Vouni was named after the low mountain it is built on. Local tradition says four hamlets once stood here; three were abandoned after a leprosy epidemic in 1692, and the survivors gathered in Vouni.
The village has always lived from its vineyards, and its school was once one of the largest in the area. Today its restored buildings hold a cluster of small sights that make it a rewarding stop on a wine-villages drive.
