Vardousia (Greek: Βαρδούσια) is a mountain in northwestern Phocis and southwestern Phthiotis, Greece. Its highest peak, Korakas (Greek: Κόρακας) reaches 2,495 m,[1] making it the second-tallest summit in Central Greece after Giona. It is a southern extension of the Pindus mountains. It is divided into three main parts: Northern Vardousia, whose highest peak is Sinani (2,059 m), the very steep Western Vardousia, whose highest peak is Soufles (2,300 m), and Southern Vardousia, with the highest peak of Korakas. The whole range measures about 25 kilometres from North to South.
