Kastoria is a charming town, whose beauty will most certainly seduce you. It is located on a narrow peninsula, looking like an amphitheater facing Orestiada Lake and nestled in between the mountains of Grammos and Vitsi. To better visit Kastoria we will take a tour on the lake and have different stops at the old town, the historical district of Doltso with the typical mansions, the paths and the scattered post-Byzantine churches. The architectural variety of the mansions and the traditional houses of the 18th and 19th centuries is one of the most impressive in Greece. We will stop by the Dragon’s cave, a unique sight of stalagmites and stalactites in a prehistoric natural cave and the convent of Mavriotissa or Messonisiotissa.

 

Our next destination, Nymfaio is a traditional settlement of Mount Vernon. Is one of the ten most picturesque villages of Europe, according to UNESCO. This fascinating Vlach village will give you the impression like it came out of a fairytale book, enchanting you with its stone houses, cobblestone paths and surrounded by a breathtaking beech forest.
