Upon entering Pavliani, visitors will see the memorial of all those - Greeks and Italians who died in the battle of Pavliani in June 1942.

Not forgetting to pay a visit to the park at the springs of Asopos. After a 10 minute drive into the forest, you reach a unique recreation/leisure park, with affluent amounts of running water, sports facilities and manually operated cable cars. You can play, exercise or just relax under the dense fir trees, whilst drinking a coffee or whatever takes your fancy from the refreshment room that operates there.

Between Upper and Lower Pavliani, there is the Hydrokinetic Museum. A stone built complex which houses the water sawmill, the watermill, the Fulling Mill and the Pulling Tub (Tristila).

Agios Athanasios Church is admirable with its wood-carved iconostasis and the stone built bell tower, dating back to 1868.

Visitors to Pavliani are left fascinated by the traditional structure and organization of the local community. The Stone Primary School is a monument of traditional architecture. Another characteristic of the community is of the prevalence of its residential development in two materials: stone and wood.

Of particular interest are the short or long excursions to the National Forest of Oitis up to the refuge of “Katavothres”, the Greveno peak and to Kouvello, where you can come across certain types of flora and fauna, unique to Oiti.

The village of Pavliani is located geographically in Central Greece just 40 minutes from Lamia, two hours from Athens, three hours from Thessaloniki and just 50 minutes from Parnassos Ski Centre. Easily accessible from most parts of Greece, visitors can enjoy an alpine landscape, both in winter and summer, which will be unforgettable to those wanting to visit it.

In the village of Pavliani, you have the chance to enjoy the artistic attempts of a lady of the village (Pavliani) who has expressed herself on the walls and on the hanging bridge in the forest!
