Moreover, the natives cultivate cereals, almonds and heliotropes which are used for the production of bio fuels.

Of course, particularly flourishing is the field of excavation of rocks, as many industrial units are located here and made all the products being greatly sought after by a lot of places in the interior of the country and abroad as well. In the coastal part of our municipality people occupy themselves with the fishery and especially, in Peramos one can visit the Fisheries Research Institute which is one of the most contemporary one in its field. Apart from all these extensive activities, traditional handicrafts—pasta, halvah, tahini—are very common and tourists prefer them because of their excellent quality.
