Just like Koutouloufari, Piskopiano is a small village, with very nice restaurants, tavernas and cafes and the villagers are very friendly and welcoming. In Piskopiano, which has about 400 permanent residents,there are also some nice bars . Many tourists and Greeks who do not like the crowds of Hersonissos come to Piskopiano but actually it attracts everybody for a day or evening out. Piskopiano is surrounded by beautiful gardens, and lies idyllically at the foot of the mountains. The view of the sea is stunning. In Piskopiano is a beautiful church and a museum which are worth a visit. There are some really nice little hotels and apartments for rent.
