When you have Holidays in Central Greece, a trip to Livadia is not to be missed. Livadia is the capital city of Central Greece but most Greeks place the heart of the region at Delphi. This is where ancient Greeks consulted the oracle about prophecies and major decisions. People came from all over the world to consult the oracle.
Situated just a few hours by car from Athens, Livadia has some really pleasant places to visit. The Krya Springs is a wonderful place to relax with cobbled paths, Plane trees and charming small waterfalls.
Whether you prefer history and culture or a more active holiday there are plenty of opportunities here. Thermopylae is an historic site where the Battle of the Spartans took place. It derives its name from the nearby hot sulphur springs. The Monastery of Osios Loukas on the slopes of Mount Helikon is a UNESCO world heritage site and has some magical ancient mosaics.
You will find spectacular mountains where you can hike, take a mountain bike or go rafting down the rivers. But, if you want a quieter holiday there are beautiful beaches, fantastic places to eat and enough culture to satisfy the most ardent lover of history.
