Tithorea is a traditional Greek village surrounded by forest-covered hills and mountains. It’s a gateway to Parnassus National Park, where you can hike through sun-dappled fir forests, cool off in crystalline streams and hunt for rare flora like the Parnassian peony.
Hit the slopes at the Parnassos Ski Centre. Tithorea is an excellent base for ski holidays in Central Greece, which enjoys reliable snowfall and plenty of fresh powder. The resort offers groomed runs for all ages and skill levels. Take it easy on family-friendly runs or challenge yourself on steeper slopes reserved for experienced skiers and snowboarders.
Visit Panagia Odigitria Monastery and enjoy sweeping views over the surrounding hills and forests. Stroll around the serene grounds and purchase artisan products made by the resident monks.
Dine at local tavernas and enjoy traditional Greek dishes like “moussaka” eggplant casserole and “saganaki” pan-fried cheese. Snack on “dolma” vine leaves stuffed with rice and indulge in desserts like “baklava” pastries layered with sweet nuts and “galaktoboureko” Greek custard.
