Marathos: The Village Within Caves with Its Famous Flavours

ABOUT

'To Xombliasto Koulouraki' is the name of the women's association in the village, bringing together both new and long-time residents since 2000, dedicated to crafting and sharing unique flavours.

Marathos is a mountainous village situated at an altitude of 300 metres. Vasilikos Hill features a spring, and the Aspro Maschali area serves as a habitat abundant with wildlife. A visit to the Doxa and Arkalospilio caves is highly recommended.

In Marathos, visitors can also explore the Yiannis Klinakis Art Gallery.

Fortunate are those who find themselves in the village in December when the Cultural Association of Marathos organises the highly successful Raisin Festival.
