Starting up from Karpenisi and after having taken the road to Agrinio, one comes across with the junction to Stenoma after three kilometres. Turning to the right and after five kilometres one reaches the location "Margarita". Close enough is Saint Athanasios Chappel and the "Kara-Amet" spring. One can also see the "Zigos"; a church built of stone, dedicated to the memory of Kosmas Aitolos. Going on there is a place called Stenoma. Opposite to the village there is "Tourla", a high-ground where ruins of ceramics indicate an ancient city.
The next village is Pavlopoulo. Located in a magnificent wooded landscape, it is a typical evritanic village where one can visit the old church Saint Dimitrios which dates back to 1666.
Afterwards there is Papadia village. Here we can see the old church of Saint Ioannes Chrisostomos which dates back to the 15th century. On a picture of the temple the date of 1757 is written while on an other is that of 1707. After Papadia the way leads to Domiani where the little church of Panagia lies with its interesting frescos and excellent pictures which date back to 1787. Going on one can find Agia Triada, a village hidden in a wood of chestnut trees. It is located in the northern foot of Velouchi Mountain, close enough to the back part of the ski-center.
This is where a famous school of greek literacy operated during the years before the Greek Revolution (1779). Leaving Agia Triada village one can make for the Sermitzelis ridge. From there one can head for Fournas; the second bigger municipality in Evritania. This is the place where Dionysios from Fournas (1670-1745) founded a remarkable school in which many students attended. One of them was Kosmas Aitolos too.
From Fournas one can follow the way to Bracha so as to admire the spectacular Convent called "Metamorphosis Sotiros" which had been renovated in 1745. There are frescos and pictures still kept in excellent condition.
Afterwards there is Klitsos village and the renowned convent "Koritsa" where the relics of Loucas the Evangelist are kept. From Sermitzelis ridge we can also make for Karditsa or Lamia going down the northeastern part of Timphristos Mountain. But we continue our route heading to Saint Elias and then to Saints Apostoli; an area of astonishing view. Finally we reach Karpenisi from the opposite side of the ridge.

Karpenisi-Potamia-Prousos

Following this route one can visit the Convent of Prousos too, a pilgrimage place where people gather from all over Greece, specially in the 23th of August; at the feast-day. To reach Prousos one can take the way to Potamia, that fertile area where Karpenisiotis river flows. The first village on our way is Gavros.
Going on one passes by the place called "Kleidi" and then reaches the "River's Home". From that point one can see the "Tipoma"; a hole on the opposite mountain-top through which is believed that Our Lady's wonder-working picture has run on its way to the Convent.
Not far from that point there is a little picture where "Our Lady's footprints" are. These consist an uncommon and inexplicable, according to many people, geological phenomenon. Right upon the vertical rock and embodied to it one can see six to seven figures of different colour which look like footprints. It is believed that right through this point Our Lady passed on her way to "Tipoma" and then to Prousos. The silver cover of the icon is a gift from Karaiskakis; one of the heros of the Greek Revolution's period, who used to stay in Prousos from time to time in order to recover from his illness. Inside the Convent one can find an interesting museum with many exhibits. A lot of disasters threatened the Convent and many invaders have burned it down in the past, including the Germans in the 16th of August 1944. The "All Saints" church which is opposite to the Convent is built in 1754. One can also visit the Convent's Clock.
Interesting sightseeings in Prousos include the towers of Karaiskakis as long as the place called "Dark Cave". It takes thirty minutes to get there from the village passing through little ponds, clear brooks and wooded enviroment. Two other sites which are remarkable to visit are "Agathidios" Library where rare editions are kept and "Katsampio" Highschool. On our return one passes through "Kleidi" point, that wild awe-inspiring ravine reaching the junction of the villages "Mikro" and "Megalo chorio". Taking the left street we head for "Mikro Chorio", a hospitable village, located in a wooded area. Afterwards we can find the old "Mikro Chorio" where a landslide happened on November 1962. This is where a marvellous little lake is being formed during the Springtime. At the central square of the village one can see the five old and picturesque springs. If one coming from Prousos village turns on the right it is easy to get to "Megalo Chorio". Astonishing water sources, tall firs and typical country houses describe the village.
Not to far from that place, close to "Aniada" village there is an area called "Lakomata" where one can visit a monumentum dedicated to the battle named "Kaliakouda" which took place on 28th of August 1823, along with a picturesque little church. Going on one passes through "Boutiros", a typical Evritanic village where the largest church of the prefecture is hidden in a wooded location. After having enjoyed the view from the central square of the village one gets to "Klafsi" or "Klafsion" village. It is believed that this place had once been the capital of Evritania. Judging from the old church of "Saint Leonidis" which dates back to the early years of christianism, it is assumed that it must have been an important religious center during those years.
After that one visits "Mousilo" village and its old churches which date back to 1650 and 1700, as long as the two villages named "Aniada" and "Sigrelo". Following the main avenue to Karpenisi one visits "Koritsades"; a village where the "National Resisting Movement's" Museum, an old convent (1650), and ancient runs of a tower, of graves and of an old gun-fuctory exist. In a short distance before reaching Karpenisi one can get uphill to "Georgianades" village

Leaving the village, in a place called "Tsagaralona" one can enjoy the marvellous view to "Kremaston" lake. This is where a traveller can have some rest as there are a spring and a number of stone seats.

After visiting the convent one can go uphill to the northwestern Evritania at the villages named "Palaiokatouna", "Boulpi", "Valaora", "Topoliana", "Raptopoulo" and "Prasia". If the lake is not in a very high level it is not difficult to see the old bridge called "Manoli's" which had been connecting the two banks of the river for over 300 years. In Valaora one can visit the two castles which are dated back to the years before christianism. In Prasia there is the cypress under which according to the tradition, Kosmas Aitolos forsaw that the day of the Greek Liberation would come when the top of the tip would start going wilt. It still remains with its top wilted! An ancient settlement dated back to the prehistorical era has been also found there.

Karpenisi - Agrafa

A really pure and spotless nature, yet totally unexploited, lies in central-western Evritania, between the "Megdova" and "Tavropos" Rivers. This is where the mountain block of Agrafa is, a really in accessible area which is still difficult to reach. On the way to Agrinio and after having passed through the iron-bridge of "Megdova", one can turn to the right, on the junction to "Kerasochori" village. From there, leaving historical Viniani behind, one can reach a new junction. Turning on the right there is "Dafni" village, while after some kilometres, on the left one can head for "Chriso" village. Chriso is one of the most representative agrafian villages with an interesting history. On the way one comes by imposing ravines and rough precipices. Then one can see a marvellous little church dedicated to Saint "Serafim Koronis" which is built into a rough rock's niche. On the right one can see two old little bridges which were leading to the village, built in a fine constructive way. The seven springs of the village, with their odd arches are reminiscent of the past as it is obvious that they are constructed in an Arabic manner or at least in a style influenced by the Mistra's old technique. Our Lady's temple has a woodcarved icon screen similar to that of "Sotiras" church in eastern Fragista.
Leaving Chriso one heads for "Kerasochori" village. It is a big village which consists the centre of all the other villages as long as the main point on our way to Agrafa.
