The Small Village is situated in a magnificent, deep green location at an altitude of 900 meters overlooking Potamias, a spectacular valley with rich vegetation in Evritania. The mystic dance of four seasons’ unique colors has created a rare sight of Alpine beauty. It is about 310 kilometers from Athens by car and approximately 4 hours by bus. You may go to Karpenisi first which takes about five hours and then a bus that takes you to a Small Village. The village is built in a mountainous and strict architectural style with traditional two storey houses from the native produced “pepekiti” stone.

By Peter Griziotis “Are these my fasolakia, Kosta?”  So here I am, somewhat high on Tsantalis Ouzo, sitting astride a wobbly old chair in a restaurant that oozes atmosphere and the tantalising smells of lamb, oregano and fresh skordalia. It’s “The Corinthian” in suburban Marrickville and tonight the owner, Con, has no idea that his establishment is the subject of the first paragraph of an article on the delights of Sydney for the Greek visitor. I know it’s not much by way of cutting edge social research but the question driving a month’s worth of sight-seeing, pub-crawling, beach-combing, church-going, clubbing and relative-visiting is “what can a travelling Greek get out of Sydney?” This is day one.
