FROM PATRASDirections FROM THOLO The drive from Tholo to The Ark in Ancient Phigaleia takes you from the sea to the mountains. You will pass through sleepy villages like Lepreo, named after the ancient city to the north of the modern day village; agrarian areas dominated by olive groves and vineyards until you arrive in Nea Figalia. Then, as you leave this small town, you will see the landscape and vegetation change as you climb into the peaks for the final stage of your journey through the villages of Petralona (built on the side of a deep gorge) and Perivolia towards Ancient Phigaleia.
