Psachna
Tucked into the foothills of Mount Dirfys on central Euboea, Kathenoi is a place whose character is shaped by cultivated land between the mountain and the plain around Psachna. Fields, olive groves and scattered homes give this rural part of the Dirfys-Messapia municipality an open, settled character, while the slopes of Dirfys define its horizon. Rising to 1,743 metres, Mount Dirfys is Euboea’s highest mountain and a major feature of the island’s interior. Kathenoi lies inland from Chalkis, the historic city beside the narrow Euripus Strait that separates Euboea from mainland Greece. It represents an agricultural side of the island, where village life remains closely tied to the land and nearby uplands.

In northern Thessaly, the monasteries of Meteora stand atop towering rock pillars and form a UNESCO World Heritage site. Farther south, Delphi, on Parnassus, was one of the most important sanctuaries of the ancient Greek world. Together these areas link cultivated plains, rugged ranges and historic towns.
