Megalochori is Old Plomari, the mountain settlement that explains why the harbour town below eventually mattered. Read it as the origin point of Plomari’s story: stone houses, small churches and shaded corners sitting above dry-stone olive terraces, with mountain roads winding down through the Sedountas valley toward the modern coastal town. It rewards travellers willing to see Plomari’s history before its harbour.
