Picturesque green village of Parnonas, in beautiful natural environment, with plenty of water and very green. According to the 2011 census, it has 83 residents, but currently holds only 20-30 permanent residents engaged in agriculture and livestock. You can reach the village from Paleochori (7 km) via Leonidio, or from Kastanitsa. The wider area belonged to the ancient city of Gluppia, few relics of which are preserved today.
The village took an active part in national resistance during the German-Italian occupation and suffered many casualties. It was even retaliated by the Germans during clearing operations. After 1950 a large part of the population moved and settled in the Municipality of Elous and Athens.
In the center of the village there is a picturesque square with plane trees, gushing waters and ornate stone fountains. Next to it there is a monument dedicated to fallen during the occupation and civil war. There is another monument at the entrance of the village. Very close to the square is an old preserved tower house with 2 floors and a heater. There is also another tower house that is now in ruins.
There are 2 traditional taverns offering good quality food to guests.
