Levadia Municipal Unit: Levadeia Community: Λιβαδειά - Livadia
Built around the springs and gorge of the Herkyna River, Livadeia grew into the administrative centre of Boeotia. The river runs through the Krya district, where plane trees, water channels and old watermills form the town’s best-known riverside setting. Above the town stands the medieval Livadeia Castle, on the site of the ancient acropolis. Antiquity gave Livadeia wider renown through the Oracle of Trophonius, consulted in a sacred precinct near the river. Low-rise homes and apartment blocks extend across the valley floor beneath the slopes of Mount Helicon, which rises south of the town and is linked with the Muses in Greek tradition.

Tucked along the northern foothills of Mount Helicon, Levadia Municipal Unit is a place whose character is shaped by the Erkyna River as it threads through the city. Levadia is the administrative centre of Boeotia, a region of cultivated plains and long-settled routes between Athens and northern Greece. Above the urban core, the Castle of Livadeia occupies a rocky height; its walls reflect Byzantine, Frankish and later Ottoman phases. In antiquity, the town was known for the oracle of Trophonius, visited by people seeking counsel. Waterside paths in the Krya quarter provide a quieter counterpoint to the town centre.
