We are located in the heart of #Roumeli. Amfissa is embraced by the mountains Giona and #Parnassos. It is located in the northern part of a huge ancient olive grove called Crisaio Pedio, and is protected as part of the #Delphic Landscape. The famous "Amphissa olives" with a protected designation of origin are produced here.

The population of the city is almost 7 thousand inhabitants, who in the past were engaged in professions such as tanning, bell-making and rope-making, for which Amfissa was known. Today, most of the inhabitants are engaged in #olive cultivation.

It lies 200 km from #Athens, just 20 km from Delphi and 73 km from #Lamia

According to mythology, the city owes its name to Amfissa, daughter of Makaros, granddaughter of #Aeolos and lover of the God #Apollo. Amfissa means a city surrounded (by mountains in this case).
It has been inhabited since ancient times as evidenced by the #Acropolis Walls, and reports by Pausanias. The inhabitants of Amfissa and wider #Locris migrated to Lower Italy where they founded the colony of the Epizephyrians of #Locri, a city that exists to this day under the name of Locri. In the Peloponnesian War he sided with Sparta, while later #Philip of #Macedon will completely demolish it as a punishment for disrespect.

After the 4th #Crusade in 1204, the #Franks conquered the city and called it La Sole, which in Greek was translated as #Salona. The well-known folk song says: Lambs are being slaughtered in the salons, #Maria Pentagiotissa.

Amfissa is adorned with many neoclassical buildings and old folk-style #mansions The upper square (Kehagia) is the spiritual and artistic center of Fokida and the lower square or Isaia Square, is the essential center of the city with a multitude of shops and services.

Harmena is the old quarter of tanners (or tobacconists). Here is the municipal art gallery, many listed buildings and traditional taverns. A journey into the medieval tradition of the region.

The Castle of Salona or #Castle of #Oria, offers an unlimited view of the city and the plain. Here was the citadel of ancient Amfissa, from which remains of the ancient #Cyclopean Walls are preserved. Ruins of the #Byzantine Tower of the Queen and the Frankish Church are still preserved.

The #Archaeological #Museum of Amfissa is housed in the building where the 1st National Assembly of Eastern Greece took place. It houses findings from the area and the impressive statue of #Persephone from ancient Kallio.

Opposite we find the Panourgia house, a sample of local architecture of the 18th century, which houses the Museum of the Greek Revolution.

Finally, the #Carnival of Amfissa stands out with the revival of local legends, while on April 10 the anniversary of the fall of the Castle of Salona is solemnly celebrated, with a parade of students, army and security forces.

Itea is the port of Amfissa and is a popular destination in the summer season.

Galaxidi is a beautiful #maritime state that will delight you!

#Erateini is a large seaside village with delicious fish.

Lidoriki is a traditional headland that is washed by Lake Mornos. An ideal destination for nature lovers in all seasons.

And finally Delphi. One of the holiest places of Antiquity, famous for the #Oracle and its #enigmatic oracles.

What your eyes saw in this video and how unique you will experience when you do this excursion will manage to captivate you. In #Focis, this special place of Roumeli, there is so much beauty and energy that your batteries will be fully charged.
Paradise on earth has a name and it is located in #Greece.
