There, on the southeastern slopes of Aroanion, you can admire this gem of nature that generously fill you with beautiful images and sounds. <strong>It is a village with few inhabitants but many visitors mainly from Athens.<\/strong> It is also quite close, that it makes it the best solution for the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the green landscapes and the beautiful walking trails, there is something else you learn when you reach the village. That no one knows when it was created! We can only speculate. The two temples that exist in the village help us in this. One is from the 12th and the other is from the 13th century. Nothing, however, indicates whether the village was inhabited earlier and especially how much earlier! The temple, however, reveals that Zarouchla was inhabited during the Frankish occupation.<\/p>\n<picture class=\"wp-image-12305 size-full aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tsivlos_Lake_Mountain_Chelmos-1.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tsivlos_Lake_Mountain_Chelmos-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tsivlos_Lake_Mountain_Chelmos-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tsivlos_Lake_Mountain_Chelmos-1-600x400.jpg 600w\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" data-pin-no-hover=\"true\" \/><\/picture>\n<p>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/w\/index.php?curid=49281523\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Georgikopoulos Manolis<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Work of the one who uploads it, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What you&#8217;re going to see and what you&#8217;re going to do in Zarouchla<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>What&#8217;s certain is that you&#8217;ll fill your lungs with fresh air and you are going to charge your batteries.
