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".

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 but it was then almost immediately reconstructed. 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.

Á 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).

LET’S TAKE A WALK

THE BEAUTY OF ARACHOVA is not 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 home-made 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.

AT THE NORTHERN DISTRICTS 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. Going out of the church, in the small square, we find the stone fountain of "Ai Giorgis". 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. Let's go back to the church. Going East, we will pass from the Êonomovrysi 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. Nearby is Georgios Karaiskakis Square, where the monument dedicated to the hero of the Greek War of Independence lies. 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.

AT THE SOUTHERN DISTRICTS The southern neighbourhoods have their own unique beauty! We can start our promenade from Koumoula 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. 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.

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!

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.

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.

Trekking: There are dozens of trekking courses with Parnassos as reference point. The famous National Path 22 takes days and camping in nature. It connects Parnassos with Parnitha, and starts from Eptalofos (Agoriani). The route Eptalofos - Parnassos National Park - Delphi is a part of the international E4 path. Exactly above Delphi, E4 merges with the ancient path. This part may be the oldest path on the planet! We recommend the classic route Livadi - Delphi. It is a route of about 2.5 hours and 6 km distance. (Trekking Parnassos - G. Êorodimos 6981114041).

THE FESTIVAL â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;PANIGYRAKIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

he customs that are revived during "Panygiraki" have remained unchanged since 1835, as it is certified by written testimonies. Saint George always stood by the inhabitants of Arachova when they were facing problems, as it happened during the big battle of Arachova, in which the Greeks beat the Turks during a significant moment of the Greek Revolution. The celebration begins on the eve of Saint George's celebration, and everyone dressed in traditional costumes goes to church, and then the so-called "dance of the elders" follows. After that, the litany of the Saint's icon crosses the entire region of Arachova in a huge procession. Young and old people walk in lines, while the city is decorated. The entire ceremony conveys a Byzantine magnificence. The litany lasts for about 2 hours, and returns to the church at about 9 o'clock at night. The "dismissal" of the Vespers takes place, and then, the steps that begin from the church and move towards the village's center, get filled with this entire crowd, which continues with festivities and dancing. On the first day, after the church, the sports begin with the "climbing" (Aniforikos) competition, in which young and old people climb running up the hill above the church, where the big battle took place. The winner, as in all the other sports that follow, will take a lamb as trophy. The procession with the winners will return to the Temple with the escort of the crowd of people with flutes and daouli drums, and will stop exactly opposite the rock fountains that are there, and they will sing the "Panygiraki", a song with roots from the 10th century, which is sung only during this celebration and never again. On the same day, the road race of 5000 meters takes place. Then traditional dances by the dancing band of the local association follow. On the second day, sports customs continue with long and high jumps and stone lifting at the yard of the Temple. After the Vespers and the prayer to Saint George, the celebration continues with coffee and tsipouro at the village's squares, while at night the traditional folk music orchestra plays for everyone at the central square. On the third day, a memorial service for those who fell during the battle of Arachova takes place at Karaiskakis monument, which is located at the Temple's yard, and immediately after that the sports of the day: shot put, stone put, wrestling and tug of war, with or without local costumes. At 3:00 o'clock in the afternoon, the cannons and the bells will call the people again to the church, this time in order to participate in the feast that will also signal the ending of the festival for this year. A common table is set at the yard with roast lambs, which are being prepared since the morning of the same day, wine, and other dishes for the day. The fellow diners arrive, most of them wearing their local costumes, in order to brighten this time. Of course, the locals and the foreigners also participate. The dinner is free, and it is provided by the Municipality and the local church. Then, the cannons and the bells will ring again, putting "Panygiraki" to its last phase. All the participants together will get up and make a huge circle around the Temple, hand-by-hand, dancing following a slow rhythm. They will turn around the church all together three times with the priest leading the way, and then they will go united to the village with flutes and daouli drums, as well as with cannons and fusillades in order to celebrate for a little longer, wishing one to the other.

The battle of Arachova November 1826. Around and opposite the church of Saint George a big battle takes place between the Greeks, led by chieftain G. Karaiskakis, and Mustafa Bey's Turks, which has been characterized as the second Revolution of Roumeli. Testimonies talk about the presence of Trophied Saint George, who, during the critical time, led the Greeks to the significant victory. "So, then, many of the Greek fighters used to say that within this blur and the raffut of the battle they saw in a cloud of mist a rider chasing the enemy too, and motivating the Greeks to follow him using gestures. He was a very handsome man, dressed in gold and carrying a silver spear on a white horse with a beautiful saddle and silver harnesses. Those who saw him, they all recognized him; he was Saint George". This Battle is represented by the inhabitants of Arachova every year towards the end of November -with everyone dressed in traditional costumes- with parades and laying of wreaths. The only is that now, everyone, "Greeks" and "Turks" leave together, embraced, in order to continue with dancing, festivals, and eating and drinking.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;2018 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 28-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!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ioannis Revithis Chairman of the Realtor Association of Athens - Attica, Economist - Real Estate Appraiser. www.e-parnassos.gr | www.parnassos-realestate.com

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.

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 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)

WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF IN THIS LAND, when you walk through the treasures of the ancient civilization, when you let your glance wander over the tiled roofs flowing through the green color of the scenery of Delphi until it meets the blue color of the sea, when you feel the incredible energy that is emitted from everywhere, then you will become part of the myth, and you will see the two eagles of Zeus meeting here, at the "Center of the world", at the "Navel of the earth", in this distinctive Monument of Global Cultural Heritage, as it has been characterized by UNESCO.

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 cen-

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 top cultural centers of Europe, which is sponsored by the Council of Europe, is here since 1977, hosting events of global scope every summer.

Built at the west heights of the town of Delphi during the period of the first Delphic Celebrations (1920), it is located near the archaeological area, and hosts materials from the revival of the Delphic Celebrations that the couple organized during the 1920-1927 period in Delphi, costumes from ancient drama performances, as well as personal belongings of the Sikelianos family (Tel. 6944 122219).

ITEA 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 1830- at 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.

I was born in Athens and I grew up in Vilia of Attica, where É currently live. I work in an IT company. My engagement with photography began a decade ago, using as my "gun" a simple compact camera. Personal development and equipment’s upgrading came fast as a result of my love for my hobby. I gave a lot of attention to it and dedicated and devoted a lot of time. Landscapes and travel photography in general were initially among the priorities of my photographic subjects, until I discovered another beauty, that of portrait photography. It is a dynamic relationship between a photographer and a model and, by definition, a more difficult task, but this is also, its value.

Galaxidi 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.

152 DISCOVER ARACHOVA

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 11th12th 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. 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 LamiaAmfissa. 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.

The inhabitants of Distomo never succumbed to the temptation of oblivion. From grandfather to grandson, history acquires an "experiential" character. About then, during the German occupation, on June 10th 1944 in one of the most heinous war crimes that the Germans killed 218 inhabitants (among whom elders, children and women), and then burnt down the entire village, while two month ago, on April 24th 1944 the enemy executed 134 people at the location of "Karakolithos". Your steps will inevitably lead you here, to see the Monuments of the Holocaust and of those executed, with the names of the dead, and then to visit the Nazi Victims Museum, next to the Town Hall, if you want to learn more about the full history of the place through documents and photographs. Distomo is the starting point of the Municipality of Distomo - Arachova Antikyra. In antiquity, the cities of Ambryssos, Stirida and Medeona were located at the region of Distomo.

You must see: At the entrance the 7 meters high sculpture titled "Global kiss". The Metropolitan Temple of Saint Nicolas. The prehistoric fort of Distomo. The ancient wall of Ambryssos. The Acropolis of ancient Stirida. At the beach of Distomo there is also the Acropolis of Medeona, where a large part of the fort has survived. The Archaeological Collection of Distomo. The collection is hosted in the old elementary school, which was built in 1903. Walk in the beautiful cen-

STÅIRI Six kilometers from the village of Distomo lies Stiri, on a height of 500 meters overlooking the Muses' mountain of Elikonas and the mountain of Parnassos. A village with a rich history during the antiquity, due to its important position in the valley as it offered the opportunity to control all the ancient routes which were directed from the beach to the mainland. Today Stiri is a vivid village with its local residents occupying themselves in many activities. Situated next to the monastery of Osios Loukas, it welcomes its visitors for a cup of coffee in the picturesque cafes and of course for food as the village is famous for its restaurants. The religious celebration at the village is on the 1st September, celebration of Osios Simeon. The panigyri (celebration) of Stiri is one of the best in the region of Boeotia attracting a lot of people.

DISTOMO MASSACRE 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"...

ÁNTIKYRA IS A SEASIDE VILLAGE of the Prefecture of Boeotia, at the northern coasts of the Corinthian Gulf. It is 28 kilometers away from Arachova, about 170 kilometers from Athens, and numbers approximately 3,000 inhabitants. In recent years, it has been the center of attraction of many tourists in the summer, having very beautiful beaches, and a blue flag waving at the beach of Agios Isidoros. Antikyra has been famous throughout the centuries thanks to a plant, Ellevoros, which in antiquity was considered to be a medication for various diseases, mainly of the psyche and the nervous system. The ancient city of Antikyra is worth seeing. Among other things, parts of the wall of the ancient port, ancient houses, as well as part of an early Greek settlement are saved at the location of "Palatia". Also the ruins of the temples of Athens (6th-5th century B.C.) at the top of the hill of Siros and of Artemida (Diana) at the region of "Kefali" are worth seeing. Its most characteristic beach is the one of Agios Isidoros, with crystal clear waters. You can also swim in the beach of Antikyra, as well as in the beach of "Limani Koutrou" (Koutros Port), at the beach of Ag. Nikolaos and at Mpalnta. We recommend that you also admire the exquisite view to the regions of Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elijah), Kefali and Faros. There are several good proposals for accommodation. The taverns, the restaurants and the ouzo taverns satisfy every wish, near the port, with Faros (Lighthouse) and the fishing boats as background. The bars and the cafeterias with music and pleasant environment offer from a small coffee delight up to a big well organized night. There is also the possibility of recreational fishing and spear fishing, as well as of various others sea sports. In addition, there are many sports facilities. Antikyra has a port for the mooring of small boats. You can also visit the cultural association "Allotropia" to admire the folklore collection or any of the art shows that often hosts (Tel. 22670 42698).

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.

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.

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.

Fotini Rapti The owner of ‘Skunkworks’ is a new presence in the street fashion of Arachova. She made her first steps in Athens, 15 years ago, with the very first and authentic street fashion shop "Skunkworks Athens". She has a true island spirit, due to her activation in Mykonos and Skiathos for the last 12 years. Her travels to Europe have brought us the latest and most worthy fashion items. Her passion for her work is big and undeniable, as we can get from the welcoming of the fourth and brand new "Skunkworks" in beautiful Arachova. Her smile and spontaneity along with the most friendly and experienced team, have transformed a clothing store into a "hangout", with alternative suggestions for both clothing and music.
