Raftis village in Arcadia #drone
Показать описание
📍Project: Raftis in Arcadia
📜Details: The Raftis of the former Municipality of Irea of the Municipal Unit of Irea of the Municipality of Gortynia belongs to the Prefecture of Arcadia.
The settlement is built on the edge of the slope of the last mountain volumes of Mainalo at an altitude of 720 meters above sea level. Raftis has a view towards the Alfei Valley and the opposite mountains and villages of Andritsaina.
At the entrance of the village is the stone-built church of Agios Dimitrios, built in 1901. Opposite the church is the bust of the master thief Thanasis Raftiotis.
Just before the entrance to the village from the Arachova road, and opposite the provincial road, you can see the Hermitage of the Most High Priests (1697) stuck to a steep rock with its small church, a place that served as a refuge for the locals against the fight of 1821. Nearby and much lower, there are preserved Venetian battlements wedged between the rocks, which were also a refuge during the periods of persecution during the Turkish occupation. Both sites are visible and accessible by footpaths from the country road.
Leaving Rafti towards Arachova, at the start of the ascent, a sign points to the Venetian Battleships, Kokoreiki and Rafteiki poulia (opposite it but invisible from there). They served as shelters for the residents in times of persecution.
Leaving Rafti towards Arachova, at the beginning of the ascent, next to the shrine, begins the rough path (15' minutes) to the hermitage of the Taxiarches that we see, wedged into the rock, directly opposite. The hermitage was built in 1697.
