5Arachova: A Charming Mountain Retreat

Perched high on the slopes of Mount Parnassus in central Greece, Arachova is a picturesque mountain town known for its traditional architecture, lively atmosphere, and stunning views of the surrounding countryside. In the fall, as the leaves of the nearby chestnut and oak trees turn golden brown, Arachova takes on a magical quality, reminiscent of a postcard-perfect alpine village. Explore the narrow cobblestone streets lined with cozy cafes and boutique shops, sample local specialties like “formaela” cheese and “tsipouro” brandy, and admire the panoramic views of the Delphi Valley and the Gulf of Corinth from the town’s scenic overlooks.
