8Arachova — The winter Mykonos

Perched on the slopes of Mount Parnassos, Arachova is Greece’s chicest winter resort — often dubbed the “Mykonos of the snow.” Just two hours from Athens, it’s the go-to destination for skiing, snowboarding, and cozy après-ski evenings by the fire.

The cobbled streets are lined with boutique hotels, wine bars, and local shops selling handmade textiles and traditional cheese. Nearby lies Delphi, one of Greece’s most sacred ancient sites — hauntingly beautiful when shrouded in winter mist.
