Mount Parnassus has always been one of Greece's most iconic mountains. The Oracle of Delphi, Coryceion Cave, the remains of the fortifications at Lilaia or Tithorea, and Androutsos Cave are among the monuments that bear witness to the area's rich history. From cosmopolitan Arachova to the secluded paths of eastern Parnassus, this mountain has many, sometimes contrasting, faces.
Its proximity to the capital and the variety of activities on offer have made Parnassus very popular, even for day trips. The main attractions include ski resorts, long-distance hiking, mountain running and cycling. Since 2008, a mountain race called "ParnassusTrail" has taken place each year, starting from Amfikleia. When the snow melts, the ski slopes become downhill mountain-biking trails.
To preserve its unique landscapes, the area was declared a national park in 1938, becoming Greece's second national park after Mount Olympus.
