What it is

The church of Saint George, Agios Georgios, crowns the upper quarter of Arachova: a stone church with a bell tower reached by a long stairway from the village streets. The esplanade in front is a viewpoint over the red roofs, the valley and, opposite, the mountains on the other side of the Pleistos.

How to get there

On foot from the clock tower, through the upper streets, in ten minutes. Go in with clothing that covers shoulders and knees if it is open.

Tips

  • At sunset The low light falls on the valley and rooftops.

As a family
