Dístomo, Central Greece, Greece
Overview

Local Tips
Most places accept cash more readily than cards; rental cars or local taxis are the best way to get around, as public transport is limited.

Safety Warnings
Dístomo is very safe, but beware of narrow mountain roads if driving, especially at night. There are no common scams, but confirm taxi prices before boarding.
Hidden Gems
Visit the lesser-known Byzantine Monastery of Osios Loukas nearby, hike the scenic trails towards Arachova, and try the locally made honey and cheeses at family-run shops.
