Livadeia

During your visit to Livadeia, worthwhile sights include:

• Krya Springs, a lush area filled with trees and flowing waters, through which the Herkyna River runs. Krya is renowned for its numerous small waterfalls, dense vegetation, stone bridges, and overall natural beauty.
• The stone theater of Krya, set within this picturesque landscape.
• The ancient springs of Lethe and Mnemosyne, along the Herkyna River, which continue to supply the city with water to this day.
  The ruins of the Oracle of Trophonius, one of the most mysterious sanctuaries of antiquity.
• The Byzantine castle, later expanded by the Franks and the Catalans.
• The chapel of Prophet Elias, built near the ruins of the ancient Temple of Zeus Basileus.
• The chapel of Agia Ierousalim, located inside the cave of the Life-Giving Spring, next to the chapel of Agios Minas.
• The Monastery of Lykouresi, whose roof—once made of lead—was used during the Ottoman period for the production of ammunition.
• The Clock Tower, constructed during the period of Frankish rule and originally used as a beacon. A historically inaccurate local legend claims that in 1803 Lord Elgin donated a clock to the city in order to prevent local leaders from obstructing his excavations at the Oracle of Trophonius. The clock was placed on the tower due to its prominent position and remains one of Livadeia’s most recognizable landmarks.
• Livadeia combines rich mythology, layered history, and impressive natural scenery, making it a rewarding destination for visitors exploring Central Greece.
