The beautiful river with the feminine name "Erkina", which crosses Livadia, is a natural monument around which the whole city has lived and breathed since ancient times. Its name comes from the Nymph of the river Erkina and daughter of Trophonius. Its banks are dominated by centuries-old plane trees, watermills and waterfalls and a hint of the ancient glory of the region full of myths and stories. It originates from Krya, from the ancient springs of Lithi and Mnemosini and flows into the Boeotian Kifissos.

Krya is a natural park, a place for recreation, relaxation and walking, as well as a tourist attraction. Located at the exit of the gorge and in ancient times probably the site of the legendary Oracle of Trophonius and the Sacred Grove. Overgrown with century-old plane trees, crystal clear spring waters, stone arched bridges, small waterfalls, traces of ancient glory full of myths and stories as well as sculptures by the Levadian artist Spyros Gourgiotis.

Old traditional buildings from the industrial era of Livadia such as the Nerotrivi and the Neromilos have been reconstructed and are used along with the newer domed theatre as art venues. Right next to the springs, is the building of the tourist pavilion “Xenia” designed by the professor urban architect Alexandros Papageorgiou - Venetas.
