The hidden "favors" of Arachova

Arachova is bustling with modernity and tradition, elements that are married in harmony with the "Parnassus nymph". As a winter resort, it is close to one of the best ski resorts in the Balkans, perhaps in Europe. Its biggest advantage, however, is that it is located in Central Greece and very close to Athens, making it easily accessible via the area's excellent road network.

"Justifies" her ... reputation

Arachova, however, has not been known in recent years just because of the ski resort. It has always been tourism, as Delphi's destination has always been a landmark and a great interest attraction, making Arachova an "inevitable" destination. So, visitors who arrive, taste the brunch of wine, taste the famous formal and buy the amazing handmade traditional woven fabrics, which are famous all over Greece. Her reputation, of course, does not stop in her traditional products, but she also relies on her contribution to Greek history, with the first Chief Commander George Karaiskakis decimating the Turks in the Battle of Arachova.

Since then, Arachova has been upgraded and became one of the most beautiful cities in Greece. The visitor has to wander through its cobbled streets and feel the pulse of its traditional neighborhoods, where they still play all day careless children. Climb to the church of St. George, to descend to the beautiful church of Our Lady and below the Byzantine church of St. John, to visit the Folk Museum of Arachova to admire the famous Arachovitika woven and see the art which made a traditional Arahova costume. And since the visitor is tired of walking, "owes" to drink tsipouro at the cafes in the beautiful square of the village.

With hotels and accommodations to provide high-quality services and offers for all budgets, Arachova is an ideal destination for weekend getaways. For this reason, he owns 75% of the hospitality beds in the prefecture. Its traditional tastes are reflected in all the taverns and restaurants and guests enjoy excellent culinary quality food. Kontosouvli, pies, sarma, formal even kokotakia many dishes and sweets to more upscale scale, both in terms of service and environment.
From Escape to Escape

In Arachova the visitor never touches any time of the year and if he visits it. Winter the "nymph of Parnassus" is transformed in the most cosmopolitan place, with bars, cafes, restaurants, gourmet restaurants, 'trendy' shops and bakeries with traditional sweets and frozen yogurts.

However, every visitor to Arachova cannot "know" Delphi, not to admire the Monastery of Hosios Loukas and not to pass through the martyrdom of Distomo. If it is Summer, then it should go down to the blue beaches, which are a breath away road: Antikyra, White Houses, Itea, traditional Galaxidi. In Winter, of course, the one that is at the center of interest and not unfair is the ski resort of Parnassos, and after the upgrading of the facilities in recent years, it is one of the finest and most modern of Greece.

The hidden "favors"

But cosmopolitan Arahova has other favors. It has history, folklore, customs and customs that today's Arahovites honor and, despite all of their development, they live and try to pass them from generation to generation. Initiatives such as the Arachova Folk Group, the Women's Association, the Cultural Association, the Arachova Agrotourism Cooperative, and the other sports clubs, create the basis for the continuity of the city not only as a tourist destination but as cultural and traditional pole traction. In other words, they aim to become a reality for the younger generations, all those who left the legacy of the older generations and are precious for the next.
