At the 2011 census, Mouriki had a permanent population of 36 residents[1][2]. The village's parish church is dedicated to the Beheading of the Immaculate Head of Saint John the Baptist[3].

History
Mouriki is mentioned in the Venetian census of Francesco Grimani of 1700 as "Murichi" with 77 residents. It is also mentioned in the scientific research of the French mission of General Maisons in 1829 with 34 families[4]. At the beginning of the 20th century, its inhabitants were illiterate and engaged in agriculture and livestock farming[3].
Administrative changes
On April 20, 1835, Mouriki was annexed to the Municipality of Vlassia. On July 1, 1841, it was annexed together with the entire Municipality of Vlassia to the Municipality of Lapathos. On August 28, 1912, with the establishment of the Communities, the village was annexed to the Community of Gerbesi, which would be renamed together with its homonymous seat to the Community of Prophet Elias. On December 4, 1997, with the return of the Municipalities to self-government according to the "Kapodistrias Plan", Mouriki was incorporated into the Municipality of Kalavryta[5][6].
