Mount Typaio was a rocky mountain of ancient Ileia. According to Greek mythology, all women who broke the law and dared to watch the ancient Olympic Games were thrown off the cliff. The only exception was Kallipateira, to whom the specific sentence was granted, due to the fact that she came from a family with Olympians. Today, it is not known which exact mountain it is, with some Ileians identifying it with the Arnokatarachos hill, located near the village of Makrisia. This point of interest is Mountainous and Rural. Suitable season to visit: All-year-round. It is not accessible through public transport. It has no fee or ticket.
