Arachova, the 'alpine village of Greece,' is one of the country’s most cosmopolitan winter destinations without losing its authentic charm. Stone-paved alleys, traditional mansions, small cafés, and boutique shops create a unique atmosphere. The village’s history ties back to General Karaiskakis and the Greek War of Independence of 1821, while its iconic clock tower dominates the cliff. Highlights include the Skala Agarsiou steps and the Church of St. George. Arachova is also famous for its vibrant nightlife with après-ski bars, clubs, and restaurants, as well as for its gastronomy with local products such as the renowned Formaela cheese (PDO).
