Municipal Unit of Kallieis

The Municipal Unit of Kallieis combines remote mountain terrain with enduring village life in a way that reflects its position on the northern slopes of Mount Giona, near the Vardousia range. This highland part of Phocis includes communities such as Mavrolithari and Athanasios Diakos, connected by mountain roads through forests and grazing country. The Mornos River rises in the nearby Vardousia Mountains before flowing south towards the Mornos reservoir. Athanasios Diakos is named for the Greek War of Independence fighter who was born there, giving the area a tangible link to Greece’s 19th-century struggle for independence.
