Stemnitsa

This is a traditional village overlooking the slopes of Mainalon. The landscape is absolutely breathtaking as the mountain embraces the stone houses of Stemnitsa and the castle reminds the visitors of the history that took place here. Stemnitsa is a continuation of Ipsous village as mentioned by Pausanias and it appears that the conditions were such that the village continued its course through time despite the riots, revolutions and difficulties. Stemnitsa was also the first capital of Greece during the Greek Revolution and provided the country with supplies as well as brave fighters.
