Pispilounta

Pispilounta is a mountainous village located near the road of Spartounda to Potamia, which interconnects the two mountainous areas of Amani and Pelineo.

Southeast of Pispilounta, at a distance of only two kilometers, stands the medieval settlement of Ta Markou ("buildings belonging to Markos"), which was abandoned after 1928. There are traces of a fortress and a tower, as well as the church of Panagia, with the yearly celebration on August the 15th. Additionally, there were some recent archaeological discoveries in the area from the classical Greek times, which are now exposed at the Archaeological Museum of Chios city.
