History
Vissani was founded in the 14th century, and grew during Ottoman rule. It became a part of Greece after the Balkan Wars in 1913. The village retains elements of its traditional architecture. In the center of the village is the church of Saint Nicholas from 1791, decorated with frescoes. The village houses were built by craftsmen from the villages of Pyrsogianni and Vourbiani. Vissani is the birthplace of Kitsos Harisiadis, one of the greatest traditional clarinetists of Epirus,[2] who mastered and taught the tradition of playing the "miroloi".
