Vrousti is a mountainous village situated on the southern mountainsides
of mountain range Mpachriami. It is only 16km from Argos
and it is a ‘balcony’ that looks out on the peaks of Artemisio,
Karia, Agrilitsa
and Fregaina. The chapel of
Prophet Helias has a view of Neochori,
Sterna, Malantreni,
Koutsopodi and many other
villages.
The two main characteristics of the village are stone and silence.
It is a combination that creates feelings of peacefulness, tranquility and intangible
fear due to the view of the abandoned houses and the ruins. It used to be a crowded
village once, but all its large families sought for a better future in Australia,
America, Athens
and Argos in 1960’s.
However, some believe that the village has to ‘revive’
again. Thus, they rebuild of renovate their traditional houses and they are ready
to discover the beauty of the village.
