Most scholars agree that the name of the village comes, because of its many churches, from the phrase “About the Divine” (Peri=About and Theia=Divine). Into the village you will be able to admire the numerous venetian style buildings and churches and of course enjoy a wonderful meal in one of the recent created taverns into the old buildings of the village.
