INFO:One "precious jewel" is the picturesque village of Davlia. Situated on the south eastern slopes of the mount Parnassus in an altitude of 402 metres above sea level near the ruins of the ancient city. The Municipality of Davlia with a popoulation of 2398 and its magnificent natural beauties, is the perfect place to spend your vacation at. Provides a strategic location since at a circular distance of 25km the visitor can enjoy during the winter season, mountain tourism and winter sports at the Snow Centre of Parnassos; while during the summer months can swim to the crystal, clear beaches on the near seaside areas.
The scenery is spectacular and breathtaking. The rich cultural heritage and the excellent climate combined with the warm hospitality of the inhabitants will make your stay an unforgettable experience. Furthermore, the big variety of the traditional Greek cuisine will satisfy even the most demanding persons. The municipality of Davlia provides many services like: post office, tourist information, country court etc; while Livadia, capital city of the prefecture of Viotia is only 26km far away. That makes Davlia an ideal place to be used as a starting base for your excursions in the surrounding area.
------------------------------------------------------------
The ancient city of Davlia with the name of Daulis, once a strongly fortified Acropolis, rises to the south at a distance of about 10 minutes away from the village. The Acropolis made its presence felt in all the historic events the region has been involved in. Having a Pelasgic foundation and containing the remnants of a medieval structure and the ruins of a little Christian church, it stands in solitude gazing at the glorious sunset over the plain of Davlia, in the shade of impressive Mount Parnassos. Visitors will surely be amply rewarded if they decide to take a stroll to the unassailable wall of the castle.
