The Town Of Livadia And Its Myth

The Town of Livadia

Located in Central Greece, about 130 kilometres northwest of Athens, Livadia (Λιβαδειά) is a charming town where history, nature, and everyday Greek life come together. Built around the picturesque Krya Springs and the river Erkyna, visitors can stroll beneath centuries-old plane trees, discover traces of its ancient past, and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere away from the usual tourist routes.

Livadia is also well situated for exploring the nearby mountain region. The popular mountain town of Arachova is approximately 35 kilometres away, while the ski slopes of Mount Parnassos can be reached in roughly an hour by car, depending on the route and weather conditions. This makes Livadia an interesting stop or base for visitors who want to combine Greek culture and history with a winter excursion to the mountains. Even a day of skiing. 🙂

Greek Mythology Combined With Halcyon Days

Greek Mythology combined with Halcyon days! You might wonder what this means, but as in every country and season, there are natural phenomena.

A Greek winter can be cold and in the mountainous areas, it always snows. However, every year there are also some very warm days with a lot of sunshine. They are called the „Halcyon days“ or „Alkionides Meres„. Unfortunately, we never know on which days exactly those calm bright days will come. Usually, it is the period after Christmas until the end of January when there is a non-interrupted period of days with clear blue skies and warm temperatures, which at least in the Athens region can reach more than 20°C during day-time.
