Agrafa, one of the most historic mountain villages of Evrytania, is built at an altitude of approximately 880 metres, at the foot of Mount Koukourountzos. The village is surrounded by imposing mountain peaks, deep gorges and the wild natural landscape that characterises this unique corner of the Pindus mountain range.
At the locations of Sborn and Chonteika, at the foot of the village, lie the springs of the Agrafiotis River, which flows through the area and forms one of the most distinctive features of the landscape.
Agrafa has given its name to the entire Agrafa mountain range, at the southern end of the Pindus. It is an impressive mountainous region with numerous peaks rising above 2,000 metres, the highest being Karava at 2,184 metres. Its remoteness, rugged beauty and dramatic terrain create an authentic landscape that captivates lovers of mountains and nature.
The village’s history is equally eventful. In 1942, Agrafa was burned by the Italian occupation forces, but it was later rebuilt, preserving elements of its traditional architecture.
Among the village’s most important landmarks are two of its oldest surviving churches: Panagia, built in 1600, and Agios Georgios, dating from 1610. Together with the surrounding natural landscape and the area’s rich history, they shape the distinctive character of a village that serves as an ideal starting point for discovering the heart of Agrafa.
