Perched atop the mountains of Timfristos and Agrafa, Evritania prefecture is embraced by the rivers of Karpenisiotis and Trikeriotis that fall into the lakes of Kremaston and Kastrakiou. All these natural elements gathered in one area, compose a canvas of unrivalled beauty that immerse the visitor in a world that looks like Tolkien’s Middle Earth and the Lord of the Rings.

The prefecture of Evritania has the cleanest atmosphere in Europe, according to scientific measurement reports that prove zero pollution levels. The main reasons for this is the fact that the area is covered by dense forests of planes, high firs and chestnut trees, as well as the limited -if any- industrial activity to the area.
