8Kastoria – A Lakeside Fairytale

Nestled in northern Greece, Kastoria is famous for its stunning lake, historic mansions, and Byzantine churches. The town flourished during the Ottoman era due to its fur trade, leaving behind grand neoclassical homes that exude old-world charm.

Visitors can enjoy a scenic boat ride on Lake Orestiada, explore the Dragon’s Cave, or savor traditional dishes like kremmydopita (onion pie). During winter, Kastoria transforms into a snow-covered wonderland, making it an idyllic escape year-round.
