About this place
Agoriani, officially known as Eptalofos, is a picturesque mountain village on the western slopes of Mount Parnassos, approximately 1,200 metres above sea level. Surrounded by dense fir forests and alpine meadows, it is one of the most atmospheric villages in the Parnassos region, with traditional stone architecture, a central square shaded by plane trees and a tranquil pace of life. A short walk from the village leads to the Agoriani Waterfall, where water cascades through lush vegetation into a natural pool. The setting is particularly beautiful in spring and early summer when the flow is strongest and the surrounding greenery is at its most vivid. The village and waterfall make a rewarding half-day excursion from Arachova, combining a scenic mountain drive, a gentle walk and a beautiful natural setting. The area also offers several trailheads for longer hikes into the Parnassos National Park.
