With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Lamia, 20 miles away, has to offer. Mount Iti National Park, Mount Oeta and Loutra Ipatis Thermal Spring alone justify the drive. The locals will also likely point you toward Karpenisi, 40 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Karpenissi Ski Center. (But we’d also recommend Saloon Park and Korishades National Resistance Museum.)
