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.

In antiquity an ancient sanctuary of Dirphyan Hera stood on the summit, as the Greek Wikipedia article on Dirfi records. The mountain later gave its name to the municipal unit Dirfys, and the villages of Steni Dirfyos, Stropones and Metochi developed on its western and eastern flanks.

The mountain's name comes from Dirfys, and the ancient sanctuary of Dirphya Hera stood on the summit. The mountain gave its name to the Dirfys municipal unit, whose seat is Steni Dirfyos on the western foot.

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.
