Depending on the season, your transportation towards Arachova can be made either by car or on foot. For any other close, or not, destination, a car is necessary.

Amazing scenery, beautiful forest roads, steep cliffs, stony and difficult paths offer numerous ways for you to escape.

Parnassos ski resort is 17 km away, while Iniochos and Pan are 9 - 10 km respectively. The nearest airport is Nea Anchialos National Airport, situated 84 km away, whine the biggest airport in Greece, Eleftherios Venizelos in Athens is 160 km far away from Arachova. Arachova is one of the most popular destinations in Greece and justifiably, we might add. It is ‘’blessed’’ by history, which still remains intact through the years. Tradition matches perfectly with the cosmopolitan lifestyle that was adapted recently. Below are some ‘’must-sees’’ of the area: - The central road: it’s the village’s only road. Park your car and admire the traditional taverns, the cobbled streets and the fancy stores. - The ‘’Clock’’ : Do not miss out the breathtaking view. You can see the whole village from above. - Church of Saint George – Egkarsios: In order to get to the church, provide yourselves with super comfortable shoes, take a deep breath and count 264 steps (!). And there, at the village’s top, the church of Saint George dominates, who is also the village’s Saint. - The Folk Museum of Arachova: It was one of the first schools founded in Greece. In 2009 it was declared as a conservation monument and was restored in order to highlight Arachova’s unique textile art. - ‘’Lakka’’ and ‘’Papaioannou’’ squares: Literally Arachova’s meeting points. Cafes, taverns, gift shops, restaurants, night clubs- all at your disposal to admire and go around. Other close destinations,that require a car are of course Parnassos Ski Center with the beautiful chalet, the Oracle of Delphi, Itea, Galaxidi and many more.
