Areopoli has two parts; one is the old town and the other the new one. The old town is picturesque, with stone-paved streets and charming traditional houses.
In the old town, there are taverns, restaurants, bars, and souvenir shops. The alleys with colorful doors surrounded by flowers are the best background for your summer photos.
The central square is called Platia Athanaton. It is the meeting point of locals who flock there in the evening: children with bicycles and scooters, companies of elderly, and families stroll around the square. On one side, there are a few cafés that serve delicious pastries.
The main road of the old town is called Kapetan Matapa street. If you follow it, you find a historical square dedicated to the revolution of the 17th March 1821. In the center of the square is the cathedral of Areopoli called Taxiarches, a stone-made church built in the 19th century.
In Areopoli, there are many old chapels, a sign of the faith and religious devotion of the locals. Among them are some that you should not miss. The church of Saint John, built by the Mavromichalis family, has beautifully painted walls, dating back to the 18th century.
