A picturesque village with a long beach called "Psaropouli". The Aegean
Sea has created here a landscape completely different from the one in the Cyclades,
colourful and rich in vegetation, always under the same light which shines on
the beach and the sea with a thousand different colours depending on the time
of day. According to tradition, the village's name derived from the royal (the
Greek word is "vassilika") ships - the fleet of the king Xerxi of Persia - which
anchored off the beach Psaropouli during the naval battle of Artemissio.
Vassilika is the biggest village of the municipality. Its population
mainly engages in tourism, agriculture and fishing.
Τhis text is cited May 2003 from the Municipality
of Artemissio tourist pamphlet.
