Description
Pterounta is located in the northwestern part of the island, 70 km from the town of Mytilene. The original name was ‘Fterounta’ because of the ‘fterga’ plant which grows vastly in the region. The houses are arranged according to each family size. The oldest houses in the village were built after 1900 with stone materials, bricks, earth, wood and mixed tiles.
