One of the most important attractions of Pauliani is the natural recreation park at the springs of Asopos

On the green slopes of the mythical Mount Oiti, built at an altitude of 1,040 meters, is one of the most mountainous settlements in the prefecture of Fthiotida, the beautiful village of Pauliani. It is an accessible destination, since the distances from the major urban centers of the country are relatively short, not exceeding about three hours of travel.

With a long and long course through the centuries, Pauliani attracts more and more excursionists, meeting every requirement, since its beauty varies according to the seasons of the year. Both in the winter months with her all-white dress covering every imperfection of mother nature, as well as in the summer months, with the green dominating every part of her, and always combined with the calmness and relaxation that the place reflects, it surpasses the demands of everyone and offers a carefree stay, emphasizing in its own way its diversity.

Known since ancient times, close to the ruins of the temple dedicated to Heracles, in the place where, according to mythology, this invincible man placed himself in the Fire in his attempt to get rid of the poisoned tunic that he inadvertently gave him Diianeira’s wife, by leading him to a horrible death, gains in her own way some of his mythicity, thus filling the beginning of the pages of her own history. As for the theory of its name, it is stated that it owes it to its first inhabitants, who were the first to believe in the teachings of the Apostle Paul, while a more likely version is that it is due to a Slavic name.

The village has joined the Habitat Agenda, a pilot program that concerns the sustainable development of traditional villages and the execution of model regeneration projects for their upgrading.
