Arachova Municipal Unit

The landscape around Arachova Municipal Unit is steep and mountainous on the southern slopes of Mount Parnassus, which has shaped both the compact settlement pattern and an economy linked to mountain travel and local produce. Arachova itself stands at roughly 960 metres, its stone-built houses climbing the hillside above the road toward Delphi. Parnassus National Park, founded in 1938, lends the area a distinctly highland character. Formaela Arachovas Parnassou, a protected cheese made from sheep’s and goat’s milk, is a local speciality. Nearby Delphi, with its ancient sanctuary of Apollo, connects the region to one of Greece’s most important classical sites.
