Introducing Arahova
Arahova (ah-ra-ho-vah) is built on a rocky spur of Mt Parnassos at an altitude of 960m. Arahova is primarily a winter resort for skiers, and for Greeks it is very much the place to be during the skiing season. Prices in winter reflect this trend and some restaurants close in summer.

It’s only 12km from Delphi, and a good alternative base from which to visit Ancient Delphi. The main street of Arahova is flanked by shops selling embroidery, hand-woven goods, flokati rugs and various other souvenirs. The town is also noted for its cheese, honey, hilopites (fettuccine-style pasta) and red wine.
Despite this overt flaunting of its assets to passing tourists, Arahova is essentially a rugged mountain town, and to appreciate its charm you need to explore its stepped alleyways.
