This is a mountain of Boeotia with an altitude of 1747 m. The springs of Erkyna River (which crosses Livadia) and Kifissos (which crosses Boeotia and flows into Lake Yliki) can be found here. The higher parts of the mountain are covered with firs and oak trees, and according to mythology, the Muses had their home here.

Erkyna river comes from the southern part of Livadia and crosses the city center. The region of the sources of the river, known as Kria (=cold in Greek), is a park located at the exit of the gorge and is famous for its outstanding natural beauty. In the gorge there is an open theater with good acoustics and a cobblestoned path for hiking.

Livadia is built on the foot of Mount Elikonas, just 140 km. from Athens. Erkyna river crosses through the town endowing it with a magical atmosphere although the entrance to the city does not prepare the visitor for the beauty hidden in every corner of this place. In the picturesque square of Kria, tall trees and lush vegetation create a pleasant, restful shade for visitors, while hiking along the river is a nice and relaxing experience.

This is a small and charming village built right outside a valley. You can access it through Kaparelli. It is comprised by 2-3 taverns and some rooms to let. Most houses belong to vacationers. There are also only two beaches, both of which are sandy. One of them is at the right side of the village and it has plenty of tamarisks and the other one is on the left side and is less crowded as you need to walk 10 min on foot to get there.
