MOUNT OITI
Mount Oiti is one of the highest mountains in Central Greece (2.152 m), hosting a pristine environment of fir forests, a vast diversity of plant species, rich fauna, abundant waters and beautiful gorges.
The “Hercules mountain” has been inhabited since the ancient times as demonstrated by the ancient temple honouring the mythical hero and the neighbouring monuments in the region, especially Delphi.
In more recent years, the area became better known thanks to the contribution of its inhabitants to the Greek Revolution and the Resistance during the Second World War. Many monuments bear witness to this history as demostrated by the newly-inaugurated Trail of the National Resistance.
Despite its overwhelming nature and history, the mountain remains well preserved and untouched. Explore the undiscovered trails of Oiti!
MAVROLITHARI, AT THE HEART OF THE MOUNTAINS
The village of Mavrolithari is built at an altitude of 1,160m in the southern slope of Oiti, at a location that offers breath-taking Alpine views towards Ghiona and Vardousia mountains.
With its vast main square, its perennial Plate Tree -a monument of Nature as well as a monument of Greek National Resistence during WWII-Mavrolithari can serve as basis for exploring the surrounding area of the basin of the former Municipality of Kallieis, with the beautifull villages of Pira, Kastriotissa, Stromi, Panourgias, Mousounitsa and Athanasios Diakos!
