They did this on the cobbled mule-paths winding their way through olive groves and chestnut forests to the mountain villages of Tsagarada and Mouresi . With the opening of roads and advent of the motor vehicle. Damouhari lost its importance as a trading station but gained popularity. It is now a miniature sea-side resort that offers lucky visitors a retreat from the grind of urban life.
