Arachova Travel Guide: 44 reviews and 119 photos

Arachova (Arahova) is a mountain small town, being built at an altitude of 900-1000 m, on the north slopes of mountain Parnassus. It is 160 km west of Athens, just 8 km from one of the most famous archaeological sites, Delphi.
Since ancient times, Arachova has been the welcoming host for all the people visiting the oracle, even before the town of Delphi was set up.
Year by year it welcomes more and more visitors, thanks to the nearby ski center too, the best one of Greece...
