A FIRST ACQUAINTANCE Arachova lies on a slope of Parnassus, which is naked from vegetation, beginning from 890m. and reaching 1,030m., gazing the Delphi valley and the olive grove from above. Here lied the cities of Anemoria and Kyparissos, which were mentioned by Homer. The region started experiencing great prosperity when the ski center of Parnassus was created (1976 and on), thus creating an enviable infrastructure in terms of hotels, stores, and nightclubs. Lakka square is the village's must point, as well as the clock on the rock and the folklore museum. Walking through the stone-paved alleys or climbing up the 265 steps that lead to the church of Saint George, constitute also a significant experience. The heroes of Arachova are Georgios Karaiskakis, who beat the Turks and left his mark in the 1821 revolution, and the city's protector, Saint George, who is honored every year with celebration events called "Panygiraki".

10 am The town of Arachova is crossed by a main street, which separates it in two parts: the North and the South. We will tour the town by following the main street first.

Our first stop is the Bridge in the eastern part of the town, where you can take pictures with the Clock Tower as a background. A few meters away, there is the Folklore Museum, a beautiful neoclassical building with stone columns, which, for many years, was housing the Primary School. Built in 1908, it replaced the first Primary School of the village, which was built in 1830 out of the labour of the inhabitants, regardless of the scarcity of means at the time, but it was destroyed by an earthquake in 1870. In 1984, it was declared a historic monument and it was fully restored in 2009, when it was turned into a museum. In its rooms, it houses workshops for traditional crafts such as embroidery and goldwork, the making of traditional costumes, etc. (www.arachovamuseum.gr).

Behind the museum, we can see the landmark of the town, the Clock Tower, which features in all the postcards. Built on the top of a steep cliff, it dates back in the

early 18th century but it collapsed during the earthquake of 1870. It was then almost immediately reconstructed and once again destroyed by the German occupiers in 1944. In 1966, Nektarios Kamvasinos, the abbot of the Monastery of Osios Loukas, restored it to its former glory complementing it by the addition of the Clock. You should by all means climb up the stairs of the "Rock of the Hour" (you can ask for the key at the reception of the museum) to enjoy the panoramic view of the town and its surrounding area.

11 am Next to the museum, down a narrow street, on your left-hand side, there is the Metropolis of Arachova, dedicated to the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, founded in 1676. The church, as we can admire it to this day, was built right after the Greek Revolution of 1821. Keep following this little street and you will find yourselves in front of the stone church of Agioi Taxiarches and, if you climb up the stairs, you will end up once again on the main street, right in front of the Town Hall, a 19th century stone building, renovated in 1986. Just a few meters away, you will find Papaioannou Square with its everflowing fountain, built in 1948. Your attention, though, will be captured by the 265 towering reddish stairs of a transversal path called Engkarsios, which are challenging you to climb them up until you reach the church of Agios Georgios. The view from the precincts of the church is unique!

We keep walking along the main street, passing in front of the small triangular square Koutroulou immediately followed, on your left-hand side, by Lakka, the most popular cobblestoned square of Arachova.

11:30 am / Coffee time Lakka Square is the town's meeting point and a day and night point of reference for everyone: celebrities,

The Clock: Arachova's landmark, which is visible from every corner. It used to be the belfry of the Presentation of Virgin Mary, which is exactly underneath it. It was initially built in the beginning of the 18th century, and was destroyed twice before it took its contemporary form in 1966. It is built at the top of a rock, and it is accessible to visitors.

only limited in its busy center. A walk towards the inner part of the town will bring you closer to its history, culture and traditions. The small labyrinthine streets that are usually interrupted by stairs, the gorgeous stone houses that reflect the architectural heritage of the region, the genuine elderly inhabitants and, especially, the scent from the flowering gardens, the homemade food and the burning logs in the fireplace are all elements you must experience in order to form a complete picture of the area in your minds.

Arachova is separated in 12 neighbourhoods.

The main street divides them almost symmetrically into northern (above the main street) and southern neighbourhoods.

11 am / AT THE NORTHERN DISTRICTS After drinking our coffee and having breakfast in one of the cafes of the central road (see Day 1) we’ll go north, in order to learn about the place where a historic event of great importance for the Greek Revolution took place: the Battle of Arachova.

Let's now climb the cobblestone stairs of Engkarsios that lead from Papaioannou Square

to the main street. On top of the stairs, we will meet "Ai Giorgis", the patron saint of all the inhabitants of Arachova. The church with its majestic stone bell tower visible from every corner of Arachova and its precinct with the unique view that engulfs the entire town and expands in the horizon will impress you. Written records testify that it already existed back in 1676. During the Battle of Arachova, this church served as the lair from where Georgios Karaiskakis attacked Mustafa Bey. The locals firmly believe that it was Saint George himself that led the Greek troops into the striking victory known in History as "The Resurrection of the Revolution" and is therefore considered as the biggest miracle of the patron saint. In this beautiful church and its precinct, the locals celebrate the Panigyraki, the three days' feast celebrating Saint George.

The majestic church of the Saint is surrounded by a stone wall and has three entrances. On the northern wall, there are small openings from where the Greeks fought with their weapons against the Turkish and Albanian troops that were stationed on the opposite hill, which is known as "Moustabeis". The precinct, houses the plain monument of G. Karaiskakis and it is also the spot where, in November of each year,

DAY 2 a memorial service for the heroes of that battle is organized. The canon of the monument is the original offering of G. Karaiskakis to Saint George. During the German occupation, it was blown up, but the inhabitants of the town picked its pieces one by one and put it back together, so that, since 1970, it is situated in this position. On the same side of the precinct, there is also the chapel of Agios Spyridonas.

Going out of the church, in the small square, we find the stone fountain of "Ai Giorgis", where an event of the Panigyraki feast takes place, in which the procession that represents the winners of the Battle of Arachova returns to the church, followed by a crowd of people and accompanied by the sounds of bagpipes and tupans, and drinks from this fountain.

Passing in front of the fountain and going up the cobbled track, we will reach the hill where the great battle took place, the hill of "Moustabeis", lair of the enemy troops. It was November but the cold was unbearable and so were the Greek bullets. The Turkish general Moustabeis got fatally wounded. The freezing cold air coming down from Mount Parnassus doesn't leave them a choice and, therefore, the enemy troops try to escape through Mount Parnassus. But Karaiskakis had made any attempt to flee impossible. In the battlefield, a pitched battle takes place and the Greeks start chasing the enemy troops in the steep slopes of the Mountain through snow and harsh wind, until, humiliated, they were forced to beg for a ceasefire. On top of this same hill, every year during the first day of the Feast, there is a race called "Aniforikos" (uphill), in which men, young and old, take part dressed in traditional costumes. The race symbolizes the harmonious coexistence of the different generations through the steep road of life. Seeing 80 years old men racing on the hill where the Battle of Arachova took place, with tears in their eyes is truly touching. The prize for the winners of this race, as well as the winners of the other competitions is a lamb.

Let's go back to the church. Going East, we will pass from the (Oi)konomovrysi Square and zigzagging down the little picturesque streets we return to the main street. Going West, following the street in front of the church, we reach Platania (or Tropaiou) Square, which was named after the two "pyramids" that Karaiskakis built from the heads of the dead enemies. If we continue down the same street, we will reach Piso Alonia Square, where the church of Agios Dimitrios and the open-air theatre of Arachova are. From this point, the view to Delphi is stunning. Passing Tropaiou Square, if we continue down the cobblestone paths, we will pass through Plikovrysi Square, behind the Secondary School and the High School. Taking a small shortcut, we will see the church of Agia Paraskevi, a bit further down the church of Ai Giorgis, which was built in 1971, in a place believed to be suggested to the locals by Saint Paraskevi herself during her continuous "appearances". If we keep going down the street, we will finally end up in the main street, where Lakka Square is.

2 pm / Lunch time Walking uphill and downhill in the alleys of Arachova has made us to crave for food. The taverns and restaurants await us (see Day 1). Besides the incredible delicacies of the main dishes, do not omit to taste homemade pies, formaela (definitely), and to accompany your meal with biologically produced wine.

The southern districts, with the church of Agios Ioannis Chrysostomos and the base of the Clock as an axis, are offered for a nostalgic walk.

At the stone fountain of Ai-Giorgis, you will quench your thirst in one of its three water fountains.

The southern neighbourhoods have their own unique beauty! We can start our promenade from K(ou)moula Square and going East and down the street we can pass from Afanou Square and Ritsa neighbourhood, where the church of Agios Nikolaos is. Passing the feet of the "Rock of the Hour", we will find the church of Evangelistis, with its historic rock. It is a small rectangular church consecrated to the Archangel Gabriel, where the Annunciation of Virgin Mary is celebrated on the 25th of March of each year. On the 26th of March 1821, the priest of the village announced the beginning of the Revolution to his parishioners. Since that day, the Greek flag is raised on top of the rock next to the church. A few meters away, there is the church of Agios Ioannis Chrysostomos, that is the old Metropolis, that dates back to the later Byzantine years. In 1998, restorers unearthed 10 rare murals dating back to the 17th or 18th centuries. Among them, there are also some murals that depict the punishments of some public sins. Inside the church, next to the temple, there is a well with holy water. Since the ancient years, the ill believers spent the night in the church believing that they will get cured. It is believed that the first settlement of Arachova started here. The church is also a heritage monument.

Then, keep following the little uphill street and, after a little while, you will find yourselves under the bridge of the main street, or, if you wish to continue strolling in the town, you can cross the neighbourhood of Koukouras and then turn right to find the homonymous square, in the town's entrance.

8 pm You should definitely cast a second glance to the commercial stores of Arachova (see Day 1), particularly to the stores with athletic and winter equipment, since the next day is dedicated to activities.

10 pm We dress up and we are ready to continue our night life in the stores that we did not have time to visit (see Day 1). Tip: Look for unplanned nights and the live performances that take place particularly during weekends.

8 am / LIVADI We set off early in order to have time for everything! We take the road that leads to the Ski Center, and immediately after position "Stavros" we see Livadi spreading in front of us. A huge plateau extending at a height of 1200 m., 8 km away from Arachova, on the road leading to the ski centers, where the eye cannot get enough of the view towards the peaks of Parnassus and the fir forest. There, where the priestesses of Apollo used to stand in order to take a breath as they were climbing to the Corycian Cave and much-much later, the inhabitants of Arachova had made their "Huts" in order to stay for as long as they worked with their livestock and agricultural activities. Today, you will see chalets, luxurious residences, hotels, holiday home complexes, as well as taverns, cafes and ski equipment rental stores… in a few words en entire town! Livadi is a very beautiful place, which becomes dreamy when - every now and then - the seasonal Pnigoura Lake makes its appearance!

Pnigoura Lake is a natural seasonal lake which appears in Livadi, both because of the water from the melting of Parnassus' snow, and because of the water of springs and rain.

These waters could not create a permanent lake, because there was a natural sink that emptied it slowly towards Delphi, and thus after some time it disappeared. In 1950 a tunnel about 1200 m. long was opened for the drainage of the lake, both for the creation of areas for cultivation at Livadi, and for the irrigation of the olive groves of the surrounding areas.

Ever since, the lake's waters appear only when there is overflow due to intense rainfalls, and then the scenery acquires a unique and rare beauty.

8.30 am / COFFEE TIME The fresh air caressing our face, our glance getting lost in the endlessness of the landscape and a hot cup of fuming coffee in our hand. The best way to start your day…

At the globally famous magnificent cave of Parnassus the oldest findings of the region were found, which are dated from the Neolithic era (4000 B.C.). You will enter the evocatively lit cave from a small triangular opening in order to admire the impressive stalactites and stalagmites, which form a forest with "abstract art" works, and are mystically lit. The ancient believed that there was a road through the caves, from which one could communicate with Hades.

WHAT ELSE YOU CAN DO...

Fly a paraglider: You don't need to be experienced to enjoy paragliding. In the two-spot flight, an experienced trainer is with you. Take off from Livadi, see Arachova from above, and land in Delphi. This is a unique experience and it is worth enjoying (Ô. 6942063154, www.paraglidingfun.gr).

Bicycle rides: Rent a bicycle from Snow Republic, and enjoy unique routes in Livadi (Ô. 2267031552) Horseback riding: A unique experience for children and adults. If you are a beginner, you will get your first lessons in the specifically formed space in order to enjoy later on rides with horses in Livadi with experienced trainers (Ati, Ô. 2267031298).

Donkey ride: You can also ride small donkeys, in nature (next to Aigli hotel - tel. 6971969450). Ideal experience, particularly for children!

Paintball, ATV, Archery: Play paintball, particularly if you are a big group. In Paintball, nature is your camouflage and your goal is… survival! ATVs are offered for more extreme contact with the environment. Finally, archery gets more and more friends. Try it out and you may discover that you have another talent!

Canoeing: Canoeing in Arachova?!! Yes. If you are lucky during your stay and Pinigoura seasonal lake "appears" in Livadi, it is offered for idyllic canoeing in its shallow waters.

Ice skating: An ecological ice rink operates at Mountain Ice (T. 2267031882), where we can try out our skills in skating on a 700 sq.m. floor with the aid of tutors.

Luxury escape: Fly on a helicopter and see the beauty of Parnassos from above. Luxury Spot company (theluxuryspot.gr) offers various types of luxurious helicopters for you to enjoy a unique flight over a beautiful canvas.

Skydiving: Ôhe best experience of your life! Just outside Levadia (T. 6970300222).

There are dozens of hiking routes, with Parnassos as reference point. We will follow the "classic" route of Delphi Livadi, but backwards. The route takes about 2.5 hours and 6 km to cover, and a large part of it is on the ancient path.

We begin from Livadi, exactly below the Corycean Cave.

After a walk, we reach a chapel, Agia Triada. Then, we continue left towards the fir tree forest, and the red and white signs guide us until we find the E4 international path.

Moving on the path, we reach Kroki, a small settlement, where we can make a stop for water at its stone fountain.

Then we pass over the archaeological area of Delphi. The view rewards our efforts. To the south we see the olive grove of Chrissos, the Corinthian gulf, and at a distance the mountains of the Peloponnese. We reach "Skala" (old cobbled roads), and we move downwards a slope with almond trees, reaching the entrance of the ancient stadium. We pass by the house of Angelos and Eva Sikelianou, and we continue on an asphalt road until we reach the caf? with the big plane tree in the city of Delphi.

9 pm After so much adrenaline, back to Arachova for coffee or drinks. You already know the whereabouts!

MINAS KOKKORIS FASHION CODE STORE, in collaboration with KOKKORIS OPTICS welcomes us this year at the central road of Arachova, renovated in a special style that reminds us of foreign boutiques, the ones we see on the Alps, supporting that its success all these years is all but random.

If you have passed by there even once, then you know their secret: besides their huge variety that covers all tastes and preferences, the most basic of all is the service, which is much more than the "standardized" relationship between customer and salesman, and which resembles more having your best friend in front of you, who wants to help you make the right choice.

For appearances with perspective and style, it constitutes the ideal choice to get dressed "from top to toe" making recommendations to you for excursions to the mountain, as well as for your walks in the beautiful alleys of the "village".

Bogner, Sportalm Êitzbuhel, and Colmar launch style in your winter look with their exclusive recommendations. You will find a great variety in ski jackets and tracksuits for prospective skiers and snowboarders of all ages. Your look should be combined with your safety on the mountain. Here you will "be surprised" by the variety in ski masks, sunglasses and Bolle, Cebe and Oakley helmets. Pull-In's amazing collection will surprise you pleasantly; if you are looking for a gift for your beloved one… you have just found it. Colorful Chillout caps, gloves and scarves for cold days and nights, particularly push up Freddy tights for more casual appearances will not leave you indifferent.

We cannot say that we have a complete outfit if it not combined with the appropriate pair of

INTERVIEW

Someone to watch over us!

CROWDS, FAMOUS AND NONFAMOUS VISITORS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD, AS WELL AS… TRAFFIC JAM; A' GRADE POLICE OFFICER GIANNIS TROMBOUKIS, COMMANDER OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OF ARACHOVA SUPERVISES THE HARD TASK OF OUR ORDER AND SAFETY. Commander, which are the problems Arachova faces, and how do you deal with them? The main problem that we have to deal with is traffic, due to the narrowness of the road and the continuous movement of vehicles towards Delphi and the port of Patras. We supervise on a daily basis and particularly during rush hours, in order to facilitate traffic.

We want to recommend to our visitors, particularly to those who arrive during the holidays, to start early in the morning so that they do not arrive all together between 12 and 3:00 p.m., when greater circulation is observed.

Are there theft phenomena? We have eliminated these phenomena in the city of Arachova with a few exceptions in Livadi area, where there is constant supervision by a Service patrol car.

Do you take special care for the safety of "famous" visitors? The sense of safety is the common denominator of our efforts for everyone, visitors, as well as the permanent inhabitants of our region, and citizens have consolidated this!

Mythology mentions that at the area of Arachova, at the highest point of Mount Parnassus, during the Cataclysm, the arc of Deucalion and Pyrrha agrounded, from whom Hellenas was born, the Patriarch of the tribe, and the town of Likoria was created there. Historically, at Delphi, the Oracle makes the area known to the ends of the ancient world.

This is where the town of Anemoria was located until the 6th century AD, when it gave its place to today's Arachova.

During the first years of the Turkish rule, Arachova is already a densely inhabited village. The inhabitants of Arachova fought for their country in the battle against the Turks. The Battle of Arachova, which took place from the 18th till the 24th of November 1826, under the orders of G. Karaiskakis, is characteristic. Arachova was finally freed on October 31st 1828.

Many travelers visit Arachova during the next years, and, being impressed by the architecture, the natural environment and the cus-

toms and traditions of the inhabitants of Arachova, make it famous all around the world. In July 1870 a grand earthquake hits Arachova and destroys homes and public buildings, leaving behind 25 dead people.

At the beginning of the 20th century, with personal work, the inhabitants of Arachova construct the roads that will unite them with Delphi, Amphissa and Itea, and later, Livadia. At that time (1925), the "Engkarsios", which connects the town's main road with the historic temple of Saint George, is opened. A few years later, the war breaks out. The inhabitants of Arachova contributed to this ordeal of the nation too with their fighting spirit. One of these confrontations was the victorious battle at the position of Sfala (there is a war memorial on the road to Delphi). After the war, Arachova enjoys financial and social development, and creates the infrastructures and conditions for the tourist development that follows.

FOLK ART

Ôhe handwoven fabrics of Arachova ARACHOVA WAS FAMOUS SINCE OLDER TIMES FOR ITS TEXTILES. ITS WOOL CARPETS, BLANKETS, AND HANDWOVEN BAGS MADE IT RENOWNED ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Arachova has for centuries been famed for its "karpitia", woollen carpets woven by a handloom and stand out for their vivid colours and their combinations of linear patterns. During the period of the Ottoman rule, woven fabrics were used to fulfil the needs of the family.

Their flow production, though, started in the early 20th century. During the 50s and 60s, Arachova experienced a "loom-frenzy". In each house, two women meant two looms: one for dowry and another one for commercial use. In 1961, 1,100 looms were recorded, which were used by 1,500 women. In this same period, the reputation of the handwoven fabrics of Arachova spread outside the borders of the region and the exportations began. The karpitia, the covers, the lunch baskets and the bags have hence made Arachova famous in the whole world.

Weaving is a difficult and lengthy process, which begins with the shearing of the animals. Then, the fleece is put into boiling water to be washed and afterwards dried. The fleece is further cleaned from the prickles and the fibres are untangled. Next comes the combing of the wool to make it fluffy, which is then collected by the women and plaited into strands ready to be dyed. Do not imagine, though, that, at the time, they were purchasing the dyes at the paint shop. Nature was their paint shop and it provided them with secret recipes that passed from mother to daughter. Finally, it is the turn of the loom, which is assembled by an experienced craftsman. Hand weaving, an ancient womanly craft, requires patience, which, combined with the skill, the strong will and the sensibility of the weaver, has made Arachova and its wonderful handwoven fabrics famous.

Nowadays, the craft of hand weaving has not yet disappeared. Weavers are now fewer than they used to be, but they are teaching their art to the younger women of the village. In the Folklore Museum, there are workshops dedicated to hand weaving. And if you wish to purchase a souvenir, you can do so at one of the shops in Arachova.

Apart from hand weaving, the women of Arachova were also well known for their embroideries, such as the famous embroideries of the female traditional costume of Arachova, as well as for their goldworks.

DOMESTIC PRODUCTION OF TSIPOURO IN ARACHOVA In earlier times, around mid-November, the inhabitants of Arachova used to gather in groups of 10 in the houses of owners, around built cauldrons, and attended the production of the extract, while "meze", tsipouro and music accompanied them. It did not only have to do with the additional income that the production of domestic tsipouro provided, but it was a social phenomenon, a tradition, a kind of celebration, a full-day festivity, which gave people the opportunity to talk and have fun. Nowadays, the practice continues, even though it is limited. According to Konstantinos Korakas, who is the oldest inhabitant of Arachova (90 years old today) occupied with rakokazana (cauldrons for raki) "we are trying to maintain the tradition by distilling as we used to with wood that we gather from the forest and we braise tsipouro with artistry. When the distillation takes place, almost every night, groups of people gather around the fire, roast kontosouvli, drink wine and sing until the morning".

Mostly thanks to its neighboring location with Delphi, Arachova has been a timeless "passage", which was crossed by many significant personalities.

Lord Byron, king Otto with queen Amalia, Aristotle Onasis with Winston Churchill (1959), Maria Kallas (1959), the Beatles (1967), Constantinos and Anna-Maria (1966), king Pavlos and queen Frederica (1939), Miss Universe Corina Tsopei (1964), Jacky Kennedy and many others, who increased even more the village's fame with their presence.

In addition, from time to time Arachova has been the natural scenery for movie shootings, both of the Greek and the foreign cinema.

EASTER IN ARACHOVA Those who have been in Arachova during Easter time, and have seen the litany of the silver icon of its protector, Saint George, with the beautifully poised men and women of Arachova, dressed in traditional costumes, have eaten roast meat, snacks and have drunk wine together with all the inhabitants, who roast their lambs in a group, will agree on the magnificence that is celebrated.

If you see Arachova from above, the picture will surprise you, since you have the feeling that the entire village is burning from the smokes that come out from the roasting of the lambs. Eating and drinking, as well as treats continue throughout the roasting, which lasts for about 4 hours, but no one leaves until the eldest, and expert ones, give the signal of the end, and "Christ has risen" is chanted, with the wish "for health next year", and, of course, with the necessary shots. Then, the Easter table is set in every house with the lamb, the eggs, the yogurt, the feta and the formaela cheese, the red wine, and the necessary salads.

The Municipality of Arachova has made arrangements for an Easter menu of Arachova for the visitors. The Easter table continues until "the three cannons are heard", when on the same day the icon of Saint George is taken out, which shake the entire village from its foundations, and along with the bells call everyone to the procession of the Saint's icon.

In the 7th century B.C., the reputation of this area was globally spreading, mainly due to the Oracle. Delphi constituted the most significant pan-Hellenic oracle during antiquity. It is included in the 100 most sacred places in the world.

The prophecies were expressed

by Pythia, the priestess, and were interpreted by the priests. Cities, rulers and common people used to consult the Oracle of Delphi, bringing glorious offers.

The tour in the archaeological site is very interesting. What you should see: The Temple of Apollo (4th century - the upright pillars are saved), where the oracular prophecies were given, the small temple of the Treasure of the Athenians, the Stoa of the Athenians, the ancient Theater (with 5,000 seats), the ancient Stadium (5th century), the "Dome" of Athena Pronaia, and the Castalian Spring. Besides, exquisite exhibits, which you should definitely see, are hosted in the Museum (Tel.: +302265082312, iepka@culture.gr).

The present town is exactly next to the archaeological site, and has significant tourist infrastructure for hospitality, food services, modern market, and entertainment.

The town also has a lot to offer to the cultural life of the area, since, among other things, the European Cultural Center of Delphi (www.eccd.gr), one of the

EPIKOUROS / RESTAURANT - TAVERN Nothing in the uncluttered restaurant design detracts from the view of ‘alpine’ slopes from the large, open veranda. Even in the colder months, a glass canopy protects the seating area and allows diners to look out year-round. Start with rooster soop. The house speciality is a must: the wild boar stifado is cooked with plenty of baby onions and fresh tomato sauce, flagrantly seasoned with bay leaves and cinnamon. Chicken in tomato sauce with eggplant and feta is also an interesting alternative...

Chrisso is a very beautiful village, at a short distance from Delphi, which offers a magnificent view towards Itea and the endless olive grove. The village has a long history, since ancient Krissa, after which it was named, was built in the 15th or the 14th century B.C. Nowadays, it is a traditional listed village, with restored houses, which are surrounded by gardens and many neoclassical buildings. Chrisso's reference point is its central square with the perennial plane tree and the running waters. Don't forget to visit the Ethnological and Folklore Museum. The historical monastery of Profitis Ilias, which constituted the start point of the 1821 Revolution for Roumeli, is at a close distance by car.

ITEA

A MODEL CONTEMPORARY SMALL TOWN, with remarkable town planning, excellent tourist infrastructure, lacy beaches, rich history, lush sceneries, geomorphology with intense travel interest, and with its port welcoming cruise ships with visitors. It is located at Krisaios gulf (or the gulf of Itea), in the Corinthian gulf. Behind the town, the olive grove of Amphissa, the feet of Ghiona and Parnassus lie. From the beach of Itea and looking towards the sea, one can distinguish Galaxidi, and even the Peloponnese. It is built at the western side of the "Krissaio Field" of the antiquity, today's olive grove of Amphissa, at the location "Skala Salonon" -where the ships heading to Amphissa used to moor till 1830at the region where the ancient city of Kirra was located. The findings prove that it was inhabited since 3.000 B.C. Around 1100 B.C. Kirra was a wealthy city with a significant port, not only for commercial ships, but also for those that transferred the pilgrims of the sacred area of Delphi. Around 740 B.C. it was destroyed by a powerful earthquake. Itea was named after a willow ("itia"), which was located between the two ancient Greek cities of Kirra and Chalaios, next to which there was a spring from which cool and sweet water was flowing, and which was unique in the area.

Nowadays, Itea is a beautiful city with picturesque tree-planted squares, and with the coastal road, "Akti Posidonos", which is ideal for a big walk by the sea with the cafeterias and the restaurants. It has a fine passenger-commercial port and a modern marina with the capacity of berthing of 250 ships, as well as a smaller port for fishing boats. The cruise ships berth at its port, and visitors have the chance to get to know the city, at the same time with their visit to Delphi. Its beaches are crystal clear, and filled with people during the summer, without lacking hidden picturesque coasts. The patron saint's temple of "The Transfiguration of the Christ" (Metamorfosi tou Sotiros) (1890) stands out in the center of the city.

The locations of natural beauty include the hill of Agioi Anargyroi, the olive grove, and the islets in the Itea bay.

A little above the watermill, you will find a sulfur and magnesium spring, the "Agionero" (Sacred water), the waters of which have a slightly laxative action.

On September 17th 1827, the philhellene British captain Francis Abney Hastings, commander of the first steam ship, called "Karteria", blew up the Turkish flagship, thus achieving a significant victory with great contribution to the development of the 1821 Revolution. This was the renowned "Battleship of Agkali".

If you like walking, you can follow the ancient path of Kirra-Delphi, which is marked. The 4-5 hour route will certainly compensate you. Itea is 28 km away from Arachova through Delphi.

GALAXIDI

It was the most commercial and thriving port of Greece, during the era of sailing vessels. In the beginning of the 20th century, Galaxidi did not manage to pass from sails to steam, losing the bet of modernization, but managed to save its special physiognomy, and was transformed into a modern traditional settlement, oriented towards mild tourism, which captivates you with its aesthetics and calmness.

Galaxidi's reference point is its small port. However, it is worth walking in its interior through the narrow alleys, in order to admire the old mansions, built since 1850. At the Maritime and Historical Museum you can see coins, maritime lists, navigational instruments, ship parts, as well as an exquisite stamp collection with maritime themes and global acknowledgment. The manuscript "Chroniko tou Galaxidiou" (Chronicle of Galaxidi), which was published by Konstantinos Sathas, in 1865, and constitutes one of the most significant documentation sources for the history of the place, is kept here (www.galaxidimuseum.gr).

See also the church of Agios Nikolaos (1897-1902), in the interior of which you will admire the magnificent wooden temple, which depicts relief themes of the Old & New Testament.

The Girls' School is a particularly vivid monument for Galaxidi. A neoclassical building with an archaic-style entrance, which was built in 1880, and was used as a girls' school from 1928 to 1929, while nowadays it hosts official events.

We continue with a second walk. Going left from the main port, we will find ourselves into a second one, Chirolakkas, and then into the old shipyard. Going right, we will walk in the Alsos (park), which is full of pine trees, a heart of green, ideal for a walk that will offer you a view both to magnificent Galaxidi and charming Krissaios Bay and the Delphic Scenery.

To the east, opposite the picturesque port and above the park, the Mylos of Galaxidi dominates, from where you can enjoy the absolute beauty of the Delphic scenery in panoramic view, and relax your mind and glance.

At "Kentri" you will see the international monument of the "Sailor's Wife", which is dedicated to the wives of sailors worldwide.

If you visit Galaxidi during the summer, you should know that there are organized beaches, as well as remote coves for you to swim, enjoying sea "meze" and local delicacies. In the shops, you can buy souvenirs, as well as many jars with different tastes of homemade marmalades. Nightlife in Galaxidi is appropriate for food and a relaxed drink in one of the first port's stores.

The long straight road, to the right, as soon as we come down from Delphi, leads us directly to Amfissa, a historical town. In the course of the centuries, it encountered conquerors and rebels, who determined not only its fate, but also the fate of the wider area. Amfissa experienced the honor of constituting a universal junction for the production of olives. Its endless olive grove is the largest in Greece, with more than one million trees, many of which were planted during antiquity. A place of tradition that brought about special occupations of the Greek countryside, from tanners and cord makers to bell makers, occupations that even in our days have their last generations.

Your first steps will begin from the central square of Isaias, and a little higher, at Kehagia square, passing from the Kordoni paved road, where nearly all the entertainment stores are gathered. After drinking a cool limoncello, your gaze will inevitably move higher, where the legendary "Harmaina" neighborhood and the Castle of Salona are located.

Here we go…

Harmaina. The picture that you see comes from a cinematographic scenery. For centuries, all the workshops, which dealt with the process of skin, were gathered there. Harmaina's heyday was maintained until the interwar period, while the district gradually declined due to the dynamic introduction of plastic. Nowadays, it still fascinates the locals and the visitors. Its lonely and atmospheric alleys, the deserted and restored old workshops, the spring and the old plane trees, picturesque Toulasidi (central building of the settlement, old common area of the tanners, today a cultural area of Amfissa) compose a unique Greek neighborhood of great historic and architectural value (www.harmaina.gr).

The exciting Legend of the "Ghost of Harmaina" is revived there on the last Saturday of the Carnival.

The Castle of Salona. The Castle of Salona dominates the town, as if still protecting it today from the Romans, Byzantines, Franks, Catalans, and Ottoman conquerors, and it is founded on cyclopean walls. It played a significant part during the Revolution of 1821! A walk up to there will leave you with the best impressions, as well as the view to the town!

Climbing a little more upwards, we see the Byzantine Temple of the Savior, an ornate Byzantine monument that dates back to the 11th-12th centuries approximately.

We return to the town… walking through the old mansions and neoclassical buildings of Salona, which will excite architecture lovers. The Archaeological Museum, a two-storey urban residence, hosts significant findings from the Bronze Age since the beginning of the 20th century. The exhibition for the history of currency holds a special position (tel. 2265023344). The center of the town is dominated by the Metropolitan temple of Evangelistria, with Virgin Mary the "Tricherousa" (depicted with three arms). A little higher, the temple of Agios Nikolaos. At "Spyros Papaloukas" Municipal Library you will read rare books of the town, over 40,000 volumes. You will also see the designs made by the artist (1982 - 1957) for the hagiography of the Metropolitan Temple of Amfissa.

AMFISSA We are moving further… To Agia Efthymia, the historic and martyr village, on the slopes of Gkiona. The 'parapente' launching track is also there. To Elaionas, at the north edge of the big olive grove of Amfissa, built on impressively panoramic scenery. There, we will see a significant and recent (2014) archaeological finding, the vaulted tomb from the Mycenaean era (14th - 12th centuries B.C.). To Dasiko Chorio (Village in the forest), to the SW of Gkiona, at an altitude of 1,000m., at position "Kapsitsa" of Prosilio. Accommodation and entertainment areas with 21 appropriately equipped small houses, hidden in the shady fir tree forest.

However, Vagonetto is the most surprising.

An exciting experience in "the center of the earth", at this unique theme park, at the 51st km of Lamia-Amfissa. The tour in the mining park of Fokida will grant you the opportunity to get to know the procedure of bauxite mining step-by-step (tel. 22650 78819, www.vagonetto.gr).

You can also participate in the events of the Carnival, as well as go hiking to the shelters of Gkiona and the gorge of Rekas.

Polydrossos is located at a height of 380m., on the northeastern slopes of Parnassus. It is a beautiful village in the forest, with many running waters. In recent years, it has experienced significant tourist development due to its small distance from the ski centers of Parnassus, and it is an alternative choice of accommodation for those who want a quiet place as their starting point. Thus, in recent years nice small guesthouses have been created here, while it also has taverns and modern cafes.

The most beautiful entertainment point near Polydrosos are the springs of Agia Eleousa. Also visit Mantamia, a nice location with many running waters. The very old art of knife construction also survives in Polydrossos.

LEVADIA

Nature itself is its jewel!

MYTHS, ANCIENT SECRETS, KILOMETERS OF RUNNING WATERS IN THE CITY AND AN AREA OF ENDLESS NATURAL BEAUTY, ‘KRYA’, ARE ONLY SOME OF LEVADIA'S CREDENTIALS, WHICH WILL LEAD YOU HERE, TO THE CAPITAL OF BOEOTIA

Begin from "Krya" Krya is the point where the two springs that supply the Erkyna river, which crosses Levadia, at the gorge's exit, well. However, it has prevailed to call "Krya" the entire area that begins from the square of Metropolis, and climbs upwards, crossing the “holy gorge”.

This is an area of incomparable natural beauty and the reference point both for the inhabitants and the visitors. Walking along the river, on the paved road, your eyes will not get enough of the peaceful landscape, with the perennial plane trees, the abundant water sources that create small cascades, and the elements of architecture and cultural heritage, which are dispersed throughout the route. Stone arched bridges of significant aesthetic value and exquisite technique, which date back from the era of the Turkish rule until the beginning of the century, restored historical, industrial rock buildings, which make the water scenery even more atmospheric, the watermill and the fulling mill, which operated until the middle of the 20th century with the force of the river, the historic castle of the Catalans…

When you reach the springs, at the place where the "Xenia" cafe operates, the mystical atmosphere of the oracle of Trophonius will fill you with energy. The holes on the rocks, over the recreation area, and the niches on the vertical rocks, where statues were placed, are living proof of the most "odd" oracle of antiquity. But do not stop there. Walk on the cobbled path through the gorge -the ancient grove- where the sanctuary of Trophonius is located, up to the rock theatre.

A… surprise awaits you there! After climbing the 560 steps, which are carved on the rock, you will reach the chapel of Saint Minas, and immediately after that, the miraculous Saint Jerusalem, in the cave, from which holy water wells. The view to the area is magnificent!

The cobbled road continues after the theatre having the steep rocks on its right -where there are climbing areas-, at the peak of which the ruins of the temple of King Zeus are located, next to the chapel of Prophet Ilias, and ends at a plateau, beyond which the walk may be continued on a relatively difficult path that leads to Bridge Trichino.

Erkyna and the springs of Lethe and Mnemosyne Erkyna divides the town in two, and also unites it, always constituting its driving force. It stems from Elikonas, at its south part, and creates a unique picture in its course with seven small stone bridges, cascades, brooks and canals. Greece has two rivers with a… female name, Erkyna and Neda in Messinia.

The legend says that the nymph, after whom the river was named, used to play here with Persephone and their goose, which run away from them and hid in a cave behind a rock. When the two nymphs moved the rock, the waters that welled, created the river. This myth is also represented by the sculpture that you can see in its waters. Actually, the underground river that crosses Levadia, meets a big rock formation at the "Xenia" area, "Flischi", and not being able to cross it, its waters well.

At that point, the river's two springs, Lethe and Mnemosyne, the names of which are linked to the Oracle of Trophonius, are found.

The mysterious Oracle of Trophonius Near the river of Erkyna, the Oracle of Trophonius operated, thanks to which Levadia was famous in antiquity, and was considered to be the threshold of Delphi. It was maybe the oddest of all oracles, due to both its planning (it was cavernous), and the way in which oracles were provided. First of all, the oracle taker drank water from the two springs, the one of Lethe, which ensured that he would forget whatever he was carrying within him, and the one of Mnemosyne, in order to remember what he would see and hear in the oracle. Then, lying on his back, he entered a hole in the ground, which essentially sucked him, leading him through an adventurous route full of snakes, to an underground dark room. He stayed there for as long as it was needed (maybe even days), until the "hero" -the spirit of Trophonius-, transferred into his mind the answers to the questions that the interested person "was thinking about", since his speech was lost, as well as his laughter (for days), after his exit. The area, where the oracle was located, has not been found yet, but samples from the sanctuary of Trophonius are still saved at the springs of Erkyna.

You can learn more at the Historical Ethnological Museum of Levadia (tel. 22613 50802)

The Castle of Levadia‌ or the Castle of the Catalans or the Castle of Revenge has a long history, soaked with blood.

It is located near the springs of Krya at the hill of Prophet Ilias, and it dates back to the 13th century A.D. It was initially built by the Byzantines, and was, then, expanded by the Franks and the Catalans, constituting one of the few remains of the Catalan domination in Greece. The fortification wall of the Castle follows the morphology of the ground, and ends at a big tower to the east, where the small ancient temple of Zeus is located. The view to the town, which lies under your feed, is amazing from there!

What else to see (and do) The Clock Tower, which was build during the era of the Frankish Rule, and was used as a torch, while the clock was donated to the town

by Lord Elgin in 1803, so that the inhabitants would not stop him from excavating the Oracle of Trophonius.

The Watermill, at Krya. This was built in the beginning of the 20th century and operated as a flour mill. Today, the installations have been renovated, and constitute a standard cultural center with a conference and exhibition area.

The Historical and Ethnological Museum.

end up to the beaches of Sarantis and Agios Ioannis for ouzo by the sea. High peaks, forests, plateaus, valleys, sea. Elikonas has it all!

Levadia is a very vivid town, and you will find it out by taking a walk through its paved streets, at the center of the town, for coffee or shopping in the fine market that it offers. It goes without saying that you will not be able to resist the temptation to taste the delicious roasts, one of the more characteristic features of Levadia in the multiple taverns with the intense traditional color.

The contribution of the inhabitants of Distomo to the resistance against the conquerors, during the 1940-1944 period, is so significant, that German Nazis were seeking for a cause to avenge for their great and humiliating defeats there.

It was Saturday, June 10th 1944, and the war was approaching its end. The Nazis were retreating; four days ago, the Normandy invasion was realized, and it had then become believable that liberation day was not far for Greece. In their effort to terrify the inhabitants and intercept the support they provided to the organized rebel teams, the Nazis issue orders of genocide: "One dead German - fifty Greeks, ten Germans - a village".

Thus, in the framework of cleansing operations, that terrible morning of June, the Germans with 67 cars full of German soldiers, move towards Distomo. They begin spreading death.

They kill five people, and take 12 farmers hostage, while they were harvesting.

A part of the motorcade falls into an ambush of the rebels. The battle that follows is particularly rough.

Frantic, the chief officer Lautenbach, who is in charge, take the order from the Commander of the German forces, Hans Zampel, to undertakes the retaliations. Thus, hell breaks loose. Enraged soldiers cross the deserted roads of the village with fixed bayonets. They enter into homes, they kill, they burn, and they slaughter whoever they find in their path. Old men, old women, women, even a few days old infants suffered the same, terrifying Calvary. Goats, sheep, horses, dogs…, whatever is alive and moving, is exterminated.

Before the Germans leave, they had enough time to set the village's houses on fire. They leave at night, but they return the next day to continue their "work".

The dead people of Distomo reach 228 in total, 117 women, 111 men, and among them also 53 children under the age of 16.

A few months after the Massacre, Dmitri Kessel, reporter in "Life" magazine, visited Distomo for reportage. There, he photographs Maria Pantiska (who died in 2009), standing upright in front of a trough and washing her black clothes in the yard. The photograph was published in "Life" magazine for the first time on November 29th 1944. The title of the text was "What the Germans did to Greece"...

It all began in 2011, based on a noble idea of some people, who wish to highlight our country's cultural beauty and to establish love and respect towards it. Allotropia is consists both of people trained in letters and arts from all over the world, and of ordinary people of all ages, who offer what they can, selflessly with glorious outcomes.

Behind Allotropia's always open to all and completely free gates, visitors will find a library with 30,000 books and magazines, an ethnographic section with 150 costumes from all over Greece, as well as some from the rest of the world, a folklore section with objects of daily use, an old occupations' section, an art gallery and a modern art sculpture gallery, sketch and hagiography exhibitions, a natural history room, and a room of historical and musical records. In addition, Allotropia's facilities host one to two art exhibitions every month, with works of artists from all over the world, while at the same time various events and seminars take place constantly.

The association's wishful thinking is the creation of a cultural park, which will be able to host artists from all over the world and offer them a place for creation.

OSSIOS LOUKAS MONASTERY The monastery of Saint Luke has been radiant for 1000 years.

It impresses with its architecture of unique beauty, and, besides, this is why it is one of the three magnificent byzantine monasteries of Greece that are registered in UNESCO's global list of cultural heritage. In the middle of the yard, the two churches rise imposingly, the temple of Saint Luke, and, the second one, of Virgin Mary. Golden mosaics, rare murals of the 11th and the 12th century, colored marbles, floors adorned with marble reliefs of the 10th century, uniquely crafted domes, make you bow before art.

It is located at a short distance after Steiri village.

ELIKONAS THE "MOUNTAIN HOME OF THE MUSES" The area is offered for a nice route through forests, plateaus, valleys, and view up to the sea. Starting from Distomo, we pass through Steiri, and the monastery of Osios Lucas, and we arrive at Kyriaki, a "vivid" village of 2,500 inhabitants, built on the ancient Flygonion, in a green and beautiful landscape. Every year, the Flygonion Festival takes place there. We move towards Arvanitsa, a plateau in the heart of mount Elikonas, in the dense fir tree forest, a place of amazing natural beauty, an excellent point for walks or even picnics. This is where the homonymous Restaurant - Cafe, and actual jewel of the area, is located. And if you are lucky and it is August, you will find yourself at the famous Musical Festival of the Forest, which takes place here for four years now with the participation of great artists! Next stop is Agia Anna, a beautiful village that maintains traditional architecture, with houses built with the whitish stones of Elikonas. Agia Anna is now -after the creation of guest rooms- also offered for few-day escapes.

‘2017 will be the year to determine the new reality of the real estate market. A new base of values has already started to be seen and to present significant opportunities for investors, regarding both renting and purchasing values. Low prices attract investors, who will certainly be placed, in order to obtain long term surplus values. In addition, transfer tax reduction to 3%, as well as the beneficent law on residence permits granting to non-residents of the European Community, who will buy a property with a value of over 250,000 Euros, will contribute to the reheat of the market that our country needs so much. Many transactions have already taken place, particularly by foreigners in holiday homes, areas for the construction of vacation homes and tourist units, hotels etc.

Arachova, Karpenisi, as well as the surrounding areas, present greater interest thanks to the fact that prices are lower and that the renovation of the ski center attracts more visitors to these areas. The short distance from Athens in combination with the amenities and the excellent hospitality provided by the inhabitants and the professionals who have stores, make Arachova the top winter tourist destination, and this is manifested through an interest in purchases, as well as through interest an in renting properties. If someone invests in a vacation home, besides the recreation that it will offer to them and their family, in the long run, the property will have surplus value, and may also yield them a satisfactory income in case they rent it.

I believe that the Greek real estate market constitutes a very interesting choice for anyone who is interested in investing in property in a beautiful European country with history, civilization, as well as particular potential and prospects.

After a 25-year professional course in the real estate market field, we hope for the best in the real estate market, and we wish for the New Year to be productive for all of us!’
