Arachova

Arachova extends across the southern slopes of Mount Parnassus in Central Greece, and its highland position has made it a mountain stop on the route to Delphi. The town is closely linked to the nearby Sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi, one of Greece's most important ancient sites. Stone-faced houses and narrow lanes give its centre a compact mountain character, while local shops sell Arachova formaela, a protected-designation cheese made from sheep's and goat's milk. During the Greek War of Independence, Georgios Karaiskakis defeated Ottoman forces here in 1826. Browse additional webcams from the Parnassus area to explore more of Central Greece.
