Dirfi, Mountain summit in Euboea, Greece.
Dirfi is a mountain summit in Euboea that rises to 1,743 meters. The lower slopes are covered with forest, while grassland dominates the upper reaches toward the peak.
This mountain formed during the geological shaping of the Aegean and has drawn people since ancient times. For centuries it served as a natural boundary separating different regions of Euboea.
The mountain holds significance in Greek mythology, with several ancient texts mentioning its connection to local deities and traditional ceremonies.
Several hiking trails reach the summit, with the main route starting from Steni Dirfyos village. Proper winter gear becomes necessary during the colder months.
The wreckage of a military aircraft that crashed in 2002 still rests near the triangulation point at the peak. This unexpected discovery at the summit is something many visitors never notice.
