Walk · 1 h 30 · Free · Steep stone streets, the clock tower on its rock and the view of the Delphi valley

What it is
Arachova hangs at around 980 metres on the southern slope of Parnassus, above the Pleistos valley that runs down to Delphi. The Athens to Delphi road cuts through along the main street, lined with shops selling formaela cheese, textiles and honey. The pretty parts are above and below that street: stone steps, houses with wooden balconies and, on a rock in the centre, the clock tower, the symbol of the town. From its base you can see the whole valley down to the gulf.
Where to go
Climb the steps from the main street to the clock tower, carry on through the upper district to the Church of Agios Georgios and come down another way. An hour and a half at an easy pace, with a stop for a coffee.

## Consejos

### Park at the entrance
In winter, at weekends, the main street clogs up with skiers.

### Try the formaela
It is the local cheese; it is eaten fried.
