Amfissa

Sitting between Mount Giona and Mount Parnassus at the edge of the Crissaean olive plain, Amfissa is the administrative seat of Phocis and a small Greek town with a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size. Its history stretches back around 3,000 years — it was a leading city of the ancient Ozolian Locrians and played a role in the Greek War of Independence — and Delphi, a UNESCO World Heritage site, lies a short drive away.
