Located in Gravia there was once an Inn for passing travelers. However, on May 8, 1821 it was converted into one of the Greek people’s most powerful symbols of courage, decisiveness, and selflessness. It was the day that the fighter Odysseus Androutsos and his 118 men use the Gravia Inn to stop the Ottomans from passing through Roumeli and Southern Greece. Although they were few in numbers, they managed to stop an entire army. The Inn was reconstructed at the end of the ’90s. Today it stands as a powerful monument that transfers the atmosphere of that period and allows visitors to travel back in time and experience – even for a short while- the intense energy that is emitted from the land on which people, who truly believed in the ideals of freedom, once lived.
Across Gravia Inn is the imposing church of Agios Athanasios
