Ancient History combines the past of Loutses and Old Perithia village.
Old Perithia was built in Byzantine times, around the 14th century. The villagers felt the need to leave their coastal properties seeking protection and the safety of the mountains, to avoid attacks from Pirates and other Marauders. They enjoyed the luxury of viewing the coastline and approaching visitors without being seen themselves. After some the village prospered, villagers introduced livestock and began to grow crops and vegetables. It was decided that the area would become their permanent homes.
