In winter, the magnificent lake, the imposing mansions and the dozens of Byzantine churches of the old town and the snowy landscape make Kastoria seem like an ideal destination, especially for the Christmas and New Year holidays, when we have time to travel further afield.

A walk along the shores of Lake Orestiada – or a mini “cruise” next to small and large birds and fishermen spreading their nets while the fog covers the landscape – is a unique, “angelic” experience.

Walking through the alleys of Dolso, the aristocratic neighborhood of Kastoria with its cobbled cobblestones and Macedonian, imposing mansions, transports the visitor to other times.

The Regional Unit of Kastoria, with a video, opens its gates to a magical world, where Lake Kastoria is not just a destination.

The video highlights the various aspects of the lake from the calm of its waters to the adrenaline of its activities.

“Through a series of impressive shots, we invite you to experience the magic of Kastoria. Indulge in the peace of fishing, travel on the boat “Olympia” on a tour full of charm, kayak in the calm waters and feel the freedom of paramotor flight. The lake comes to life through the movement, the action and the moments of relaxation that it generously offers, while nature, with its majestic presence, invites us to explore it and love it” reports the Regional Unit of Kastoria.
