Karpenissi
Karpenisi, is the capital of the Prefecture of Evritania and is built at the foot of the southwestern side of Velouchi, the ancient Timfristos, at an altitude of 960 meters. It is 295km from Athens, 370km from Thessaloniki. and from the city of Lamia 75km. while it is the only urban center of the prefecture.
Between mountain peaks, next to gurgling rivers, in the center of an area with imposing and evocative at the same time natural beauty, Karpenisi managed to balance between authenticity and development.
Here, you feel that you are in a truly “virgin” nature: the vegetation is orgiastic, the landscape untouched, the villages forgotten by time, the “offspring” of life alive. But at the same time, in Karpenisi there are all the amenities, all the conditions for “exploratory missions” in the surrounding area, without the “asceticism” of the explorer.
