Free time to wander through the narrow streets of the village, stare the view from the stone bridge and the true gem of the village, the steep rock with the clock. In the old days, this particular rock was used as a fridge for the cheeses of the city, thus it was named ”Tyrias” which means Cheese. Arahova is famous for the local delicious Formaela cheese.

Finally, we start our way back to Athens, enjoying the rest of the route as the night falls.
