Arachova

Built amphitheatrically on a slope of Parnassos at an altitude of 960 m, Arachova is a beautiful town with major tourist development, which preserves its traditional character. The region of Arachova is well-known for its textiles, woodwork, dry wines and the local cheese, called "formaela". It was in Arachova that Georgios Karaiskakis (1780-1827) defeated the Turkish army led by Moustafabei in November 1826. Nowadays, Arachova is the favorite mountain resort of Athenians, as it is located next to the ski resort which is the nearest to the capital of Greece. It is located 35 km west of Livadeia.
