5Arachova: The Cosmopolitan Winter Resort
Often referred to as the “Mykonos of Winter,” Arachova is a glamorous mountain town located on the slopes of Mount Parnassus. Just a short drive from Athens, this charming destination is famous for its traditional stone houses, vibrant nightlife, and excellent ski resort.
The Parnassus Ski Center is the largest in Greece, offering well-groomed slopes and modern facilities for skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts. For those less inclined to winter sports, Arachova boasts picturesque cobbled streets lined with boutique shops, traditional tavernas, and cozy cafés serving warm rakomelo (a honey-infused alcoholic drink). Cultural lovers can visit the ancient sanctuary of Delphi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located just a few kilometers away. Arachova’s combination of natural beauty, history, and luxury makes it a top winter escape in Greece.
