Soaring above the capital of Karpenisi is Mount Tymfristos (also called Velouchi), with its popular ski centre. Here you’ll find delicious rustic cuisine here, as well as a wide choice of comfy B&Bs where you can cozy up by the fireplace and watch the snowfall. Although, being a mountainous region, much of the cuisine is meat-centred, Evrytania is widely known especially for its delicious river trout. 

Best Places to Eat

-To Spiti Tou Psara (on the provincial road that goes from Karpenissi to Prossou) for delicious grilled or butter-fried trout. Trout is also great at Fresko, where you can also buy it to take away.
