Description
Escape in the unspoiled nature of the oldest national park in Greece "Parnassos" and the most cosmopolitan mountain village "Arachova. Discover wooded ridges, hills, a forest of black pine trees and firs that just seems to go on forever, traditional Greek villages with long history and local flavours of Greek cuisine. Our tour is partly on uncharted routes of the beaten track in a private 9-10 hours all included day package. Travelling into a premium luxurious off-road vehicle driven by expert escorts is the best way to discover Parnassos Mountain in private.
Our day starts after we pick you up from your hotel or a point close to the indicated hotel if car access is not possible, and we will follow the national road heading towards central Greece. After passing Euboean Golf our route goes onwards to the north slopes of Parnassos national Park and following a breathtaking route we reach the foot of Parnassos and the springs of Voiotikos Kifisos. A true paradise of natural beauty, full of plane trees with streaming waters from the springs of the Voiotikos Kifisos and an amazing view to Polydrosos village. We take a short walk in the area while visiting the ruins of the Byzantine church of Paleopanagia or Mavromantila which was built in the 6th -7th century. Continuing our day tour crossing traditional villages in the slopes of Parnassos we work up an appetite and we arrive at Eptalofos village. There we are going to visit a traditional Greek tavern where we will be welcomed by the owner with plenty of local Greek paltters (Meze). After our lunch break, we will follow the road through Livadi before we reach the cosmopolitan village of Arachova. The picturesque landscape, the region’s history and the rustic architecture combined with the town’s sophisticated character, make the ideal scenery for a perfect coffee stop and short walk around the village. Ending our day tour we follow the national road to Athens full of memories, with the best panoramic views of Parnassos, amazing photo opportunities to capture each and every moment and the premium service of our escorts.
