Arachova: A wonderful 48-hour escape
Arachova is definitely the queen of winter (and not only) excursions as thousands of people choose to spend their weekends or even any weekend in its picturesque cobbled streets. Whether you choose a romantic stroll from end to end, a stroll along its busy main street, or a romantic photo on the trademark clock rock, a walk in Arachova reveals the charming marriage of the old and the new. And all this under the gaze of Apollo’s mountain, Parnassus.
She is undoubtedly the lady of Parnassus. The way it stands built amphitheatrically makes it appear majestic under the southern slopes of the mountain to end up in a ravine where the river Pleistos flows. Its central square is located at an altitude of 960 metres. Arachova can meet the needs of a traveller who wants to spend 48 hours close to nature but with all the comforts, but also of someone who wants a weekend in a cosmopolitan background.
What to do and where to eat during your stay in Arachova
