Karpenisi

Mount Tymfristos defines the setting of Karpenisi — its wooded slopes rise above this upland town in Evrytania, shaping a climate and daily rhythm cooler than on Greece’s coasts. The Karpenisiotis River runs through the surrounding valley before joining the Acheloos river system, while roads lead towards fir forests and mountain settlements. Karpenisi is a base for winter sports on Velouchi, the local name for Tymfristos. The area also recalls the Greek War of Independence: Markos Botsaris was mortally wounded at the Battle of Kefalovryso near the town in 1823.
