馋嘴囡GOGO吃遍世界The town of Arachova is one of the filming locations of the popular TV series "Descendants of the Sun"! For a foodie, every time you go to a strange city, you must say hello to the local food! Compared to those magnificent high-end restaurants, street food always makes people "can't stop", and only in a simple environment can you taste the most local and authentic flavors! The menu here is super interesting, it is placed on the wine bottles! You must try Moussaka, the national treasure food of Greece, because it is so famous! When making it, the minced beef, eggplant, and tomatoes must be grilled layer by layer, and then stacked layer by layer. The taste is so rich that it is exaggerated to say that after eating one, of course you have to have three more to be satisfied! The grilled lamb chops in this restaurant are also extremely juicy and tender! Delicious lamb chops always taste the same, but you will never get tired of eating them!

KevinLau2496In my mind, the Greek town of Arachova is an ancient mountain town with beautiful scenery and a long history. It is located at the foot of the famous Parnassus Mountains, 950 meters above sea level, surrounded by magnificent natural scenery, and is a picturesque town all year round. In spring, the streets and alleys of Arachova are full of flowers and greenery; in summer, it is a good place to escape the heat, and the cool climate and tranquil environment make people linger; in autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the golden leaves decorate the town, and the harvest season is full of joy; in winter, the snow is white, and the town becomes a skier's paradise, and the silver-clad scenery is particularly charming. Arachova is famous for its unique architectural style. Most of the houses in the town are built of stone, showing an ancient and pure beauty. The narrow streets and cobblestone roads, the quaint shops and cafes, and the windows and doors decorated with traditional patterns all tell the long history and culture of the town. As a traditional town in Greece, Arachova also retains many ancient customs and traditional handicrafts. The residents here are hospitable, their lifestyle is simple and leisurely, and they like to chat, drink coffee and enjoy life in the streets. The market in the town can see a variety of local specialties, such as handmade fabrics, ceramics and local delicacies. In addition, Arachova is also a great place to explore Greek mythology. It is close to Delphi, an important religious center in ancient Greece and is considered to be the holy place of Apollo, the sun god. The surrounding natural landscape and ancient ruins are full of mystery, making people feel like traveling back to the ancient world full of myths and legends. In short, Arachova is a place with natural beauty, historical depth and cultural charm. Whether it is a leisure vacation, exploring history, or experiencing local life, it is a rare choice.

katy616Mount Parnassos is the second highest peak in Greece and the residence of the goddess of the muses. Arachova, built on the mountain, is a winter resort in Greece. When we arrived, it was almost evening. The hotel front desk recommended this restaurant. The weather outside began to be windy, but the restaurant was warm and cozy. The lamb chops that must be ordered are the specialty of Arachova. They are really delicious and not greasy. We also ordered local salads and local soups (not to our taste). The dessert is the local yogurt, which tastes good and is not expensive, with a high cost performance ratio…

空空CJSmall seafood restaurant We had originally checked a seafood restaurant, but on the way we saw a small seafood & tapas restaurant that caught our eye. It had an outdoor area and felt very comfortable. The owner didn't speak English well, but he was very nice. Sure enough, there are surprises when you encounter it by chance. Croquettes, octopus cuttlefish, claws and fried baby squid were all delicious! And the portion was not enough for tapas, so we ate it as a full meal.
