Salmoni (Greek: Σαλμώνη, before 1915: Κούκουρα - Koukoura[2]) is a village and a community in the municipality of Pyrgos, Elis, Greece. The community includes the village Alfeios. It is situated in low hills on the right bank of the river Alfeios, at 70 m elevation. It is 2 km southwest of Strefi, 3 km southeast of Varvasaina and 8 km east of Pyrgos. The Greek National Road 74 (Tripoli - Olympia - Pyrgos) passes north of the village. A previously independent community, Salmoni is part of Pyrgos since 1997. The current Greek Orthodox metropolitan of Thessaloniki, Anthimos, was born in Salmoni in 1934.[3] The village Alfeios, 3 km west of Salmoni, has two churches, Metamorfoseos tou Sotiros and Saint Raphael.[citation needed]
