Area Info & Activities
The area offers many possibilities of things to do apart from flying.
Itea is a town by the sea with many beaches inside and just outside the town. There are many hotels and a campsite by the sea, many cafes and tavernas and long promenades by the sea.
The internationally famous ancient site of Delphi and its museum are only 15 min away from Itea or Amfissa.
Galaxidi, 10 minutes west from Itea, is a beautiful coastal village with traditional, well maintained houses and good beaches and shops.
Chrisso is another attractive, traditional village at the foot of Parnassos mountain less than 10 minutes away from Itea. Amfissa is the capital of the area, build amphitheatrically on a hill just below the ancient castle with its cyclopean stone walls.
The site of Amfissa has been occupied for over 4000 years and, with nearby Delphi, is one of the more historical cities in the area.
Agia Eythimia is a small village 7 kms from Itea and just under the main take off on Giona's east side. There are plenty of tavernas providing traditional grilled meat and the specialty "provatina ribs on charcoal" mainly from local shepherds.
Sernikaki is a small village just outside of Amfissa with many rock climbs on cliffs just above the village.
Arachova is a very well maintained and fashionable mountain village at 1000m altitude 30 minutes from Itea or Amfissa and walking in its narrow streets is definitely worth the visit. Also there is plenty of nightlife for those with a more extended budget.
Lidoriki is a pretty town by a lake situated below the west slopes of Giona mountain and the south end of Vardousia mountain, 50 min away from Itea or Amfissa. There are many things to visit and do starting from Lidoriki like visiting the waterfalls, caves with lakes, the highest step rock face in the Balkans at Sikia village, the sunken village of Kalio in the waters of lake Mornos, whose houses appear and disappear as the water level chanes, as well as many nice small villages around the mountains and the lake. All the southern part of the province of Fokida is coastal and you can find many beaches for swimming and villages to eat fresh local fish that small boats are bringing every day.

On the days we are not flying because of bad weather (hopefully none) we will organize day trips to the sea and to the area around with buses and 9 seat vehicles. Alternatively there will be guided treks, like the ancient path from Delphi to Kirra, or sea kayaking in the Gulf of Itea.
