Karakolithos - Mnimio Pesonton
It happened on April 25, 1944. The partisans of ELAS (Greek People's Liberation Army), the largest Resistance organization in Greece, had managed to capture 17 German officers on this very road that connects Livadia with the village of Distomo, the site of one of the most heinous Nazi crimes in the country, which was to take place a month and a half later. The ELAS men wrote a letter to the German headquarters in Livadia demanding the release of 32 Greek prisoners. The Nazi response turned to bite them back: within a few hours, the Nazis transported 136 Greek prisoners (the vast majority of them were at the age of their 20s) to Karakolithos and executed them on the spot. This monument was erected for the remembrance of the unjustly executed Greek patriots of that day, in the area of Karakolithos (Black Stone, in Greek). In the monument’s lower section, the metal bodies of the male figures, pierced by bullets, symbolize the foundation on which the Greek Resistance stepped and grew.
ArachovaPass-by Only
Arachova is a mountainous village nestling picturesquely at the foot of Mt. Parnassos in Viotia, Southern Greece. It is the most cosmopolitan winter destination in Greece, a great favorite for passionate ski lovers and celebrities, or just first-time visitors who wish to relax in a dreamy mountainous setting with modern tourism facilities. Its modern ski resort, its close proximity to Athens, and its breathtaking mountainous landscape are the strongest reason why. Apart from the mountain activities, Arachova is also famous for its bustling nightlife and as the favorite mountain resort of Athenians. It is located 35 km west of Livadeia. It was in Arachova that Georgios Karaiskakis (1780-1827) defeated the Turkish army led by Moustafabei in November 1826. Discover today, the traditional character of the village by taking leisurely walks through its narrow cobblestone streets. Enjoy hot and sweet or soft and fruity drinks in cafés, or traditional kafeneia (coffee shops).
