Kaloskopi (Greek: Καλοσκοπή, before 1927: Κουκουβίστα - Koukouvista[2]) is a mountain village in the municipal unit of Gravia, northeastern Phocis, Greece.

Nestled at the foot of Gkiona, the village is surrounded by Mount Kallidromo in the east, Vardousia in the west, Oiti in the north and Parnassos in the south.

Kaloskopi can be accessed by road from the 200th kilometer of the New Athens-Lamia National Highway at the exit of Thermopylae, by train from the station of Bralos and then by taxi or bus only from Amfissa and Lamia.

The Ottoman judges sided with the people of Koukouvista and finally gave them the ownership of the pasture of the Giona saddle mountain.

The inhabitants were displaced for three years, while in October 1947 a clash took place in the village between sections of the Democratic Army of Greece and the Mountain Commando Unit.

[8] At that time, many locals emigrated abroad (America, Australia) or to large urban centers (Athens, Lamia, Thessaloniki) in search of better living conditions.

Today, the village of Kaloskopi continues to carry the name of "the balcony of Gkiona", as it stands on the slope with an extensive view.

The traditional stone buildings, the neighbourhoods and the once busy central square are now surrounded by modern houses that conform to the architecture of the village and respect the dense green scenery.

These are Krya Vrisi, Skaperda, Barbessi, Panagia, Potimi, Agora, Pap'laki, the fount of the central square, Motsio, Zougrou, Stavros, the one at the Community Office, Kakot'rahi - Cemetery, that of Tsagaris, and the one in Moraitika - Martsian - Avgerinaika.

A few meters after the church there is a monument dedicated to the victims of the national resistance (1944) against the German occupation where a memorial service is held every year on the Holy Trinity eve with the participation of many organizations and associations.

Today, during the summer months, there is a food and coffee shop that operates all day in a forest full of plane trees and next to the running water.

These include wildflowers, aromatic mountain tea and amaranth, the flower that has been mentioned in traditional Greek songs.

There is also a wide variety of birds, such as vultures, partridges, woodpeckers, peacocks, crows and cuckoos that seem to have found shelter in Gkiona.

There are numerous trails of varied difficulty levels that make Kaloskopi a destination for mountaineering clubs of all ages.

These objects have been collected mainly from donations by the residents and they highlight the struggle for life and are testimonies of the local tradition and culture.
