But surely the incredible beauty due to the amazing geographical position compensates for this disharmony, and the hospitality and good mood of the residents comes as a seal. Besides, Matsouki was one of the last mountain villages that was electrified very recently (April 1984).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6914861690313656\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6914861690313656\" data-ad-slot=\"6494896283\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"what-to-see-in-matsouki\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to see in Matsouki<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the village you can see the old cobbled streets (stone-paved streets with raw stone), the work of the Pramantiotes.
