Arachova Tourist Information
Arahova is a mountain town little touched by modern development. At an altitude of 940 metres, its quaint houses are built up the slopes of Mt. Parnassos. This is a good place to buy hand-woven fabrics, "flokates" (rugs) and coloured shoulder bags, and you shouldn't miss trying the local specialities in one of the town's many taverns. Arahova lies 35 kilimetres west of Livadia and is a usual stop for people headed for Delphi or the Parnassos ski centre. Most of the skiers, novices or experienced, spend their nights in Arahova. A visit to Arahova in the spring and especially on St. George's day on April 23rd is an interesting one. The entertainment lasts three days and includes a race for old men dressed up in local costume followed by feasting on roast lamb. Just 10 kilometres east of Distomo, a town with important archaeological finds and an interesting museum, which played an important role in the Revolution of 1821, one comes to the Byzantine monastery of Ossios Loukas, whose 11th century mosaics and frescoes are among the finest in Greece.
