Panoramic view of Perivoli from the east.
Perivoli (Greek: Περιβόλι), is an alpine village and community lying at an altitude of 1300-1450 meters in the southwest corner of Grevena Prefecture in northwestern Greece. The community has a land area of 137.210 km² and consists solely of one village, Perivóli. Its population was 454 inhabitants at the 2001 census.[1] It is the least densely populated municipality or community in the least densely populated prefecture of Greece. It is also the sixth-least densely populated in all of Greece (behind Gramos, Sidironero, Paranesti, Antikythira, and Gavdos). The village is inhabited during winter by only 10-20 people due to extreme snow. However, the population rises to 4,000 people during the summer. The panoramic view from the village, the wild forests and animals, and the cool weather makes this village an ideal place for summer vacations and activities. There are many restored houses, inns, restaurants and cafes in the village and the inhabitants are mainly Vlachs. The southernmost portion of the community consists of the Pindos National Park.
