Municipal Unit of Gravia

The landscape around the Municipal Unit of Gravia is mountainous, with settlements set among foothills near Mount Giona, which has shaped both settlement patterns and local livelihoods. In the regional unit of Phocis, this is inland Central Greece, where roads cross between highland communities and the larger towns of the region. Gravia is closely associated with the Battle of Gravia Inn in 1821, when Greek fighters led by Odysseas Androutsos resisted an Ottoman force during the Greek War of Independence. The historic inn is commemorated locally and gives the area an important place in Greece’s national narrative.
