The city is located at an altitude of 160 meters, in the northwestern part of the prefecture, 130 kilometers northwest of Athens and approximately 30 kilometers from the nearest coast of the prefecture (Distomo Beach, where the settlement of Aspra Spitia (Distomo Beach) is located, which constitutes its seaport).
In terms of the natural landscape, the city is located at the western end of the Kopaida plain, opposite the dried-up homonymous lake and at the foot of Mount Elikon, which rises south of the city, while Mount Parnassos is formed much further northwest. Extremely important in the creation and development of the city is the small river Erkyna, which flows through the city on a south-to-north axis, to join the Makrissos River and later the Boeotian Kifissos.
