Pylorio (Greek: Πυλώριο) is a village and a community of the Voio municipality.[2] Before the 2011 local government reform it was part of the municipality of Neapoli, of which it was a municipal district.[2] The 2021 census recorded 43 inhabitants in the village.[1]

Pylorio was populated by Greek speaking Muslim Vallahades.[3][4] The 1920 Greek census recorded 317 people in the village, and 350 inhabitants (60 families) were Muslim in 1923.[5] Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Pylorio were from Asia Minor (10) and Pontus (41) in 1926.[5] The 1928 Greek census recorded 208 village inhabitants.[5] In 1928, the refugee families numbered 50 (184 people).[5]
