The meeting point of the rock-climbing crowd, small but worthy menu with vegan choices. Very cool vibe and the right spot to buy organic supplies.

City/town information
Paleochori is a small, old village on the slopes of Mt Parnon, at an altitude of 850m above sea that is now permanent home of just a bunch of shepherds and their families. However during Easter and Summer break, the place becomes busier with the younger generations preserving their ancestors' homes as vacation houses.

Historic village at an altitude of over 1000m above sea. Great views and worthy local sweets, try the walnut pie or the traditional baclava under the huge plane trees.

Local idiom "tsakonika"
