If there is a single village that has combined its name with the massif of Parnassos, this is undeniably Arachova. Among the destinations that are very popular every year, especially in winter, it is no coincidence that most call it the "cosmopolitan" of Parnassos.
Built at 950 meters, on the slopes of Parnassos, it was once considered almost a "suburb" of Athens as there were too many people who considered the approximately 150 kilometers that separate the capital from the "lady" Arachova, her patrons and her ski resort.
Arachova, therefore, with the characteristic Clock (or Hour as the locals call it) and the Bridge, the "protagonist" main street and the "warm embrace" of strong>Lakkas Square, the countless options for food, drink, shopping and accommodation and the famousSki Center of Parnassos, is also the first thought of everyone when organizes a winter expedition that wants to have it all.
Its beauty, however, is timeless and always fascinates, especially those who are not dazzled by its shallow prominence but are captivated by the hospitality of the inhabitants and the beauty of the landscape. With the river Pleistos flowing at the bottom of the ravine, Arachova stands at the passage that connected, since ancient times, the Delphi - from which it is about 12 kilometers away - and the plain of Amfissa with Boeotia.
Walk in Arachova and its reference points
The walk in Arachovais impossible not to pass through its paved central square while the steps to Ai George start from the main street. Of course you will be photographed at Arachova's trademark, the clock, which dates back to the beginning of the 18th century. Next to the clock rock is the Holy Church of the Entrances of the Virgin and the old Primary School, which today functions as the Arachova Folklore Museum.
