About location

Levadia is best known within Greece for the Krya springs, the source of the Herkyna River. Set on the northern foothills of Mount Helicon in Boeotia, the town extends from the narrow Herkyna gorge toward the cultivated Kopaida basin. A medieval castle stands on a rocky rise above the town, recalling Levadia’s long-established importance in central Greece. Ancient tradition associated nearby Mount Helicon with the Muses, while modern Levadia remains a regional centre for the surrounding agricultural plain. The slopes and broad basin give the town a distinctly inland Greek character, far from the country’s coastal resorts.
