From the Middle Ages to the turn of the twentieth century, it was home to Arvanites. The Greek National Road 3 (Elefsina - Thebes - Florina) passes through Erythres. The area south of Erythres is mountainous, with the Kithaironas to the southwest and the Pastra to the southeast.

gollark: I don't really want to fiddle with cold backups (and don't really want to buy giant stacks of Blu-Ray discs or something), but also don't trust cloud services, so encryption seems sensible.
gollark: I'm considering encrypted backup to random cloud services or something.
gollark: Speaking of which I should really have... offsite backups, at all.
gollark: It would probably be easier to back stuff up if they were more organized.
