7Metsovo — Stone houses and mountain charm

Nestled in the Pindus Mountains of Epirus, Metsovo is a picture-perfect alpine village where Greek, Vlach, and Balkan influences blend harmoniously

Its stone mansions, wooden balconies, and cobblestone alleys evoke an old-world atmosphere, while the scent of wood smoke drifts from tavernas serving grilled meats and local wine. Metsovo is also famous for its cheese and red wine, which you can sample in family-run shops. Winter turns it into a fairytale — especially when snow blankets the rooftops and the nearby ski center at Anilio opens its slopes.
