Toponymy-history
The name of the village comes from the small mountain (rather a hill) on which it is located. Corresponding toponyms in Chios exist in Mesta and Kardamyla. The resident of the village is called Vounousis in the local linguistic idiom (and the feminine Vounousaina).
Information from travelers and the Justinians survive that the village once had a large and fortified tower, a square wall, many churches, euphoria and prosperity with more than 500 residents. Today, the parish church (the “village church”) of Vounos is commemorated in memory of the Ascension of the Savior[9] (called simply “Christ”), while older churches within the village are the old church of Christ, Agios Georgios, the Agioi Apostoli, the Prophet Elias, Agios Nikolaos (two churches), Agioi Viktores and the Evangelistria. Old chapels near the village are of Agia Anna, Agia Paraskevi, the Dormition of the Theotokos, Agios Nikolaos, Agios Ioannis and Agios Panteleimonas.
