Ποιος είπε ότι η Αράχωβα είναι μόνο χειμερινός προορισμός; Έξι νέοι άνθρωποι με έντονη παρουσία στον ξενοδοχειακό χάρτη της Αράχωβας και όραμα για τον τόπο τους έχουν πολλά να προτείνουν για να καλύψουν τις ταξιδιωτικές σας... αναζητήσεις 365 ημέρες το χρόνο! Who said that Arachova is a destination olny for the winter? Six young people with a remarkable presence in Arachova’s hotel business map and a vision for their land, have a lot to put forward to meet your travel... quests 365 day a year! Ευχαριστούμε πολύ τον Γιάννη ‘Αρκουδόγιαννο’ για την παραχώρηση του σχοινιού της διελκυστίνδας Μany thanks to John “Arkoudogiannos” for the courtesy of the tug of war rope What Arachova and the neighboring area have in store for you all year round, apart from skiing and winter activities: Live the ski & surf experience, given the short distance from the sea and the amazing beaches of Antikyra in particular (in just 30΄ you can go from the snowcapped regions to the beach)! Get a close view of the Parnassos National Park, whose fauna and flora includes rare species of animals, plants as well as mushrooms! The suggestion to have a Natural History Museum founded will promote the area’s enormous ecological value. Walk down the area’s amazing paths, either close to or far away from the village. The clean- ing and marking of new paths are on the making, while they are to be linked to shelters. Ride your bike, either in mountainous routes or smoother ones. Cycling is an activity with great future prospects, as cycling races and the opening of new routes should come into being in the foreseeable future. Go horse-riding! There are breathtaking landscapes that you can get acquainted with on horseback! Discover the area’s archaeological and religious monuments, with the Delphi Oracle and the Byzantine monastery of Osios Loukas being the must-sees! A great prospect for the area would be the all-year-round operation of the ski centre with activities, including cycling, para-gliding, horse-riding, paintball, archery, etc., something which is a common place in the rest of Europe. Furthermore, one of the future plans should be a single alternative tourism package (e.g. strolls in nature with a view to acquainting the visitors with the area’s fauna and flora, visits to plants producing local products, accommodation etc.) in collaboration with the corresponding businessmen.
