Top things to do: * Go trekking or mountain-biking along breathtaking greenery near the picturesque village of Chrysso, to the Amfissa olive grove or to the Corycean Cave, dedicated to the God Pan. *Visit Delphi’s UNESCO World Heritage site, with its stunning Temple of Apollo, Tholos of Athena Pronaia, Castallian Fountain and Sacred Way. *Light a candle at the expansive Monastery of Osios Loukas, outside of nearby Distomo village (around 15 15-minute drive).
Best places to eat: Le Sapin is for modern, gourmet, innovative eaters with excellently mixed cocktails and a trendy crowd. Family-run Kaplanis for a cozy and traditional yet not old-fashioned vibe. Sit by the fire and try the local steak, warming soups and fire-grilled formaela cheese, the most popular local delicacy. Panagiota for a lively ambience and home-cooked food that became so famous there is now “face control” at the door.Don’t leave Arachova without trying Formaela cheese (great for BBQs as it’s enjoyed grilled), succulent Amfissa olives, and mountain tea.
