Geography

The village is situated on the left bank of the river Tanos, on the south slopes of mountain Zavitsa. It is surrounded by an extensive olive trees plantation. The natural caves that have formed due to the erosion of the terrain caused by the flow of the river are of particular interest. They divide the settlement into two neighborhoods. The upper neighborhood is called Palamidi.

Attractions

The ancient Villa of Herodes Atticus at Eva is the most notable landmark. One can also visit the ancient settlements of Kourmeki and Tsiorovos and the women's Byzantine Monastery of Loukou.

gollark: `ed`, the standard editor.
gollark: GTech™, of course, perfectly simulates the oracle in order to predict what *it* will do, then does the optimal thing for that.
gollark: There are two boxes in front of you, A and B. B has 10,000 dollars in it, and A contains either 1,000,000 or 0 dollars.You may choose to take either only box A, or take both boxes.A perfect oracle has predicted your choice beforehand, and filled box A with the money if and only if it was predicted that you would take only box A.
gollark: (My model for this is that if I find myself choosing between the boxes, I may be being simulated, so I can "change the past" ish)
gollark: You can't change the past, and given the boxes in front of you the two box option is strictly better.
