6th itinerary: Kyriaki- Delphi
Almost 31 km far from Kyriaki, the most famous region of Viotia, Arachova, is located. It is built on the roots of Parnassos, in an altitude of 900-1.000 meters, and it is a pole of attraction for tourists that are interested in visiting ski centers of Parnassos and have a lot of fun. However, this is not the whole image of Arachova. If you come to Arachova, you should walk in the streets and reach the church of Aghios Georgios from which you will enjoy a magnificent view. Also, you should buy local products, such as the famous woven textiles, dry wine, cheese, honey and tsipouro.
Another place, the Korykeion Antron, is located ten kilometers in the North of Arachova, which is a cave with stalactites and stalagmites. The ancient Greeks believed that if someone entered the interior of the cave, he would be able to communicate with Hades.
