About

Ambliani, perched at an altitude of 1,220 meters, welcomes visitors to one of the most picturesque mountain villages of Evrytania. Its name comes from the famous “ampliades”, the countless small springs that gush from the mountains, bringing freshness and life to the settlement. As you wander through its narrow lanes, you will discover traces of Byzantine history, hear stories from the turbulent Civil War years, and admire the village’s intricate handwoven textiles and traditional attire. It is the perfect destination for those who love authentic mountain Greece, nature, and living tradition.
