The famous part of Greece that is unknown when it was created
Zarouchla is the jewel of Achaia and the Peloponnese (on the border with Corinth) and lies at an altitude of just over 1,000 meters. There, on the southeastern slopes of Aroania, you can admire this diamond of nature that generously gifts you with beautiful images and sounds. It is a village with few inhabitants but many visitors, mainly from Athens. It is close to Athens, which makes it the best solution for the weekend.
Apart from the green landscapes and the beautiful hiking trails, there is something else you will learn when you reach the village. That no one knows when it came into existence! We can only speculate. We are helped by the two temples that exist in the village. One is from the 12th century and the other from the 13th century. However, nothing testifies whether the village was inhabited earlier and especially how much earlier. However, the temples reveal that Zarouchla was inhabited during the Frankish occupation.
