The administrative centre is Krestena while the historic centre is Andritsaina. It is one more municipality of rare beauty and contrasts which extends from the Ionian sea to Andritsaina, which is in close proximity to the mountain regions of Arcadia. Krestena, the administrative capital is one the most beautiful towns in the prefecture. It combines contemporary and traditional elements and is a hospitable and friendly place. Krestena together with the villages of Kallikomo and Makrissia are the basic areas of development in the municipality. If you drive towards the mountains, you cross the village of Kallithea and reach Andritsaina after driving through a splendid forest. Andritsaina is characterised by its stone houses, its alleys, its water springs and several historic landmarks. The whole atmosphere takes us back to the war of liberation of 1821. If you close your eyes, you can hear the bustle, the applause and other sounds coming from the ancient theatre of Platiana. Our final and most important destination in the area is the Temple of Epicurean Apollo at Bassae, a tourist destination of worldwide acclaim. Parts of the temple are exhibited at the British museum. The municipality of Andritsaina-Krestena has much to offer and is ideal for those who enjoy a variety of activities and pleasant surprises.
