Hiking

Arachova and its environs are made for exploring on foot, either by simply walking a country lane to see where it leads or picking up one of the hiking trails like the E4 through Parnassus National Park or the ancient footpath down the mountain. The 8,061-foot summit of Mt. Parnassus is now easily accessible, thanks to roads opened up for the ski areas. The less hardy can drive almost up to the summit. There are few local trekking resources but tour company Trekking Hellas (see Tours) run a number of guided trips on the ancient paths around Delphi and Arachova, visiting the Corycean Cave and scaling the Parnassus summit.
